Sandro Mazzola obituary

Outstanding footballer who won two European Cups with Internazionale and a World Cup runners-up medal with ItalyThe Italian footballer Sandro Mazzola, who has died aged 83, was a supremely gifted forward who won two European Cups and four Serie A titles during 17 years with his only club, Internazionale of Milan. With Italy’s national side he won the European Championship in 1968 and played in the 4-1 defeat by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/29/pele-obituary">Pelé</a>’s Brazil in the final of the 1970 World Cup.He was six years old when his father, Valentino Mazzola, the captain of an invincible Torino team and of Italy, died aged 30, along with the rest of the team, when their chartered plane, returning in bad weather from a friendly fixture in Lisbon in May 1949, crashed into the Superga hill overlooking Turin, killing everyone on board. The demise of Il Grande Torino, as they were known, traumatized the nation. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/sep/24/sandro-mazzola-obituary">Continue reading...</a>

Ten of the best-value deals from this summer’s transfer window

From veteran strikers to exciting young talents, here are 10 signings who could prove to be bargains for their new teamsEven in this era of relentless transfer inflation, a fee of more than £20m does not usually represent a bargain. Roma’s move for the Porto playmaker Mora may be an exception, though. The teenager has been on the radar of Europe’s elite teams since starring for Porto’s B-team at 15, and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/may/11/porto-rodrigo-mora-talent-midfielder">Porto were braced</a> for his €70m (£59.5m) release clause to be met in the summer of 2025. That didn’t happen and Mora then fell out of favour under the new head coach, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/may/26/francesco-farioli-porto-champions">Francesco Farioli</a>. Roma swooped with an offer of €25m (£21.4m), plus a 50% sell-on fee which can be bought out. The potential move also intrigued Mora, who was eager to play under Gian Piero Gasperini. “He played a big part in my decision to come here because he likes players with my qualities, and I’m a fan of the way he wants his teams to play,” Mora said. The early signs are positive, with Mora netting his first Roma goal against Lecce as the Giallorossi made a flying start in Serie A. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/sep/23/summer-football-transfer-window-best-value-deals">Continue reading...</a>

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>

And while his failure to win anything with Tottenham, Fenerbahce or Benfica didn’t exactly – on paper, at least – make him the most obvious candidate as the author of that opening quote, neither does he immediately feel like the best man to put Florentino Pérez’s Death Star back on course in Madrid.Having boycotted the Geopolitics World Cup due to my dislike of Fifa, Infantino, Trump, etc and therefore having nothing to write about, I’m now ready to pick up my quill and parchment once more. Even allowing for my team, Hearts’, disjointed recent hire and exits, I do think we have had incredibly bad luck in all our European draws. 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. Why couldn’t we have got some other made-up team from an even worse league than the Scottish Premiership? Or is getting out of Europe before the end of August the only thing that might help us in the league?” – Ken Muir.I enjoyed the link to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/jul/31/newsstory.sport8">the Rivaldo article</a> from 2002 (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/aug/07/football-daily-email-vinicius-junior">Friday’s Football Daily</a>).
