Fiorentina’s Serie A renaissance feels a way off after chastening centenary | Nicky Bandini

The home game against Frosinone seemed a perfect way to celebrate their landmark. It did not work out that wayFiorentina’s 100th birthday party had been going for four days, starting with a fan procession through the historic centre of Florence on Wednesday night and extending to their home game against Frosinone on Saturday afternoon. The club was founded on 29 August 1926, but a decades-old discrepancy in the reporting of that date has led supporters to celebrate traditionally on the 26th.This time they started a few hours earlier, gathering in their thousands beneath the marble façade of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella on the evening of 25 August and building to a firework show beside the river Arno at midnight. The club’s president, Giuseppe Commisso, stopped by to give a speech. At least one former player, Borja Valero, was among the crowd. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/aug/31/fiorentina-serie-a-renaissance-chastening-centenary-frosinone">Continue reading...</a>

First it was Sturm Graz, now Benfica, and next, in Tin Pot, it seems likely we’ll get Rapid Vienna. I’ve actually heard of every one of these teams.

Franco Baresi obituary

Italian footballer who captained AC Milan for 15 of his 20 seasons, a period of unprecedented success for the clubAt a time when Italian football was known for the excellence of its defensive systems, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jul/31/franco-baresi-iconic-former-milan-and-italy-defender-dies-aged-66">Franco Baresi</a>, who has died aged 66 after a period of ill health, embodied its most prized qualities. Whether with AC Milan, his only club during his two decades as a professional, or Italy, with whom he reached the 1994 World Cup final, he was a stylish, quick-witted, unflappable and commanding presence, primus inter pares alongside distinguished colleagues.Captaining Milan for 15 of his 20 seasons at San Siro, he won the European Cup twice and the Serie A championship six times, a key figure alongside such glittering names as Gianni Rivera, Ruud Gullit, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2009/may/22/paolo-maldini-ac-milan-retirement">Paolo Maldini</a>, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/oct/31/marco-van-basten-it-was-a-very-big-fall-and-a-really-dark-time">Marco van Basten</a>, Dejan Savićević, Carlo Ancelotti, George Weah and Zvonimir Boban. With his fellow centre-back Alessandro Costacurta, the right-back Mauro Tassotti and Maldini at left-back, he formed a legendary defensive line. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jul/31/franco-baresi-obituary">Continue reading...</a>

Franco Baresi was not only the captain but the moral heart of great Milan team

Centre-back defined era of hard Italian defending and collection of honours are eternal proof of his classThere are very few players who become bywords for their position, who enjoy universal acclaim. But for anybody who watched football in the late 80s or early 90s, Franco Baresi was the central defender. He was unsurpassed, obviously the best in his position in the world, the definition of the art of the defending. The oddity is, he really wasn’t like very many other defenders at all.Baresi had just turned 19 when he won his first scudetto at Milan under Nils Liedholm. It was 1979 and Italian football was still dominated by the ideals of catenaccio. Most defences comprised a libero, two man-markers and, if you were lucky, an attacking left-back. But not Liedholm’s. The Swede was a pioneer in Serie A of zonal marking, and the idea that the game was not a series of physical battles but a question of space. Baresi was only 5ft 9in and a teenager. More traditional coaches may not have trusted him. But Liedholm saw an impeccable reader of the game, even at that age. Baresi was an ever-present, not only in the league but in the Coppa Italia and Uefa Cup as well. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jul/31/franco-baresi-was-not-only-the-captain-but-the-moral-heart-of-sacchis-great-milan-team">Continue reading...</a>
