Torino FC The stuttering rebirth of Torino Calcio is a post from: Just Football
by Marco Maioli
On the final day of last season, Torino needed three points to qualify for the
play-offs and maintain some hope of promotion. The 24,244 fans who turned up to Stadio Olimpico (a
record for 2010-11 Serie B) and watched their team lose 2-0 were certainly disappointed, but even
they would recognize that, if there was ever a side that deserved a chance to advance to the top
flight, that was not Torino.

B side Torino have made an interesting appointment for next term, we invited Rob Gillman (the
excellent Torino Blogger) to tell us more. In just six years as Torino President Urbano Cairo has
overseen the appointment of a remarkable fourteen coaches, with former Bari boss Giampiero Ventura
the latest.
