Susy Campanale

Susy Campanale brings a long, continuous view of Italian football to her reporting, linking present‑day matches, transfers and national team debates back to decades of watching and writing about the game. She works as editor at Football Italia and writes across the outlet’s core coverage, from Serie A match reports to club‑level transfer stories and historical features.

League-wide match reports and momentum shifts

Campanale’s daily work centres on live and post‑match coverage across the Serie A calendar, with an emphasis on how games turn on key incidents rather than just final scores. Her reports on Fiorentina, Inter, Sassuolo, Torino, Atalanta, Roma, Parma and Udinese fixtures track comebacks, late goals and missed chances in detail, making the swing of a match the core of the story rather than background colour. She describes Inter’s recovery from 2‑0 down into an “exciting 2‑2 draw,” highlighting Lautaro Martinez wiping out Manu Koné’s brace to keep Inter joint‑top with Roma, which shows how she ties individual performances to the broader league table.

In coverage of Juventus at Sassuolo, she focuses on Juventus “capitulating” 3‑2 to a last‑kick winner from Vasilije Adzic after Edon Zhegrova twice leveled the game, again framing the match around dramatic momentum and psychological shifts. Her Atalanta piece stresses Cagliari’s “remarkable start to the season” and notes Paul Mendy and Daniel Maldini combining for the first Serie A penalty of 2026/27, blending statistical milestones with narrative about form and confidence. Across Roma’s win at Torino and other fixtures, she consistently calls out unbeaten runs, perfect records and decisive late goals, giving readers a sense of how each result fits into the evolving shape of the season.

This match‑reporting strand is league‑wide rather than club‑specific and reflects a writer who follows the entire competition week by week.

Transfers, loans and cross-border club stories

Alongside match reports, Campanale regularly covers player movement, especially where Italian clubs intersect with the Premier League and other European competitions.

Her piece on Andrew Robertson centres on the defender confirming a longstanding idea of joining Tottenham despite late interest from Juventus, using the story to show both the attraction of English clubs and the timing challenges for Italian sides in the market. In coverage of Palestra’s readiness for an official debut with Chelsea, she balances club news with the uncertainty of an Italy call‑up, connecting Premier League opportunities to national‑team implications. She follows loan moves closely, as in the article on David scoring two goals in just three games for Atlético Madrid after leaving Juventus on loan, where the focus is on how quickly a player reshapes his reputation in a new environment.

These pieces tend to foreground the player’s own trajectory, but they also make clear what each move means for Juventus and other Italian clubs in terms of depth, style and future options. The transfer and loan coverage runs in parallel with her match work, giving a joined‑up view of squads as living, changing structures rather than static lists of names.

Perspective on Italy’s national team and tournament history

Campanale’s writing on the Italy national team combines current selection debates with memories of major tournament nights, anchored in the fact that she reported on Italy’s 2006 World Cup win at the time. In a retrospective feature marking twenty years since that trophy, she recalls being at work on the match report as the final unfolded, and uses that vantage point to re‑examine the key moments with the benefit of distance.

The piece sets the World Cup win in a wider arc of Italian football, drawing connections between that team and the generations that followed, which underscores how long she has been watching the same storylines play out.

In news pieces such as Palestra’s Chelsea debut and the uncertainty around an Italy call, she treats national‑team selection as part of a longer continuum, showing how each new player is weighed against past standards and expectations. This thread adds depth to her beat by placing today’s squad decisions in the context of historic highs and the persistent pressure that comes with following a world‑champion lineage.

Editorial continuity at Football Italia

Campanale’s role as editor at Football Italia, held since the late 1990s, gives her work a sense of continuity across the outlet’s different sections. She has been with the masthead since 1998 and wrote the match report when Italy became world champions, then returned two decades later to produce a reflective feature on that same night, illustrating a career that stitches together breaking news and long‑range reflection.

Her byline runs through general Serie A news, team‑specific channels and special features, which means her voice shapes how the site presents both everyday results and landmark moments. The volume and spread of her recent articles across league pages and team categories show that she is a central figure in maintaining consistent coverage standards, tone and emphasis as the season unfolds.

Taken together, her editorial position, wide match reporting and historical pieces make her work distinct from a generic beat reporter: she writes with the authority of someone who has followed the same competition, clubs and national team over decades, and now curates that story in real time.
