While Serie A takes its third break two months into a delayed season, teams in Serie B are double yoked, with a full set of fixtures on matchday 15 and the league's bright young stars fleeing to Istanbul for a hit on the international hookah pipe. Fifty-two sides are battling it out for a mere seven spots in the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship in Israel.

There's quite a bit to look forward to today, even without calcio this weekend. Cesare Prandelli and Italy will play in two games as Italy look to return to a superpower. The Offside podcasts have been updated as well and feature some great new content.

There's no Serie A action this week as European leagues take a break for some international football.

Just another day in calcio- schedule changes, loving coaches, and new ideas.

1.Inter are so impressed with Leonardo that general manager Ernesto Paolillo believes he will be at the club for a long time to come:

Leonardo will be the Coach of the future. He came to us for a long-term project and we want to introduce more young players.
