Torino fans protest stadium return while coach Ignazio Abate shapes new tactics
After four months of protest, the Curva Maratona ultras lifted their boycott and returned to Torino's Stadio Olimpico following owner Urbano Cairo’s decision to end the stadium ban. Fans flooded social media with sharp criticism, calling the move a betrayal of the supporters’ struggle and praising Cairo’s perceived victory over the protest.
Meanwhile, coach Ignazio Abate conducted a training session in Pinzolo, stressing a more central, compact style of play. He instructed defenders to avoid wide passing and to look inside, while emphasizing the defensive phase. Forward Duvan Zapata rejoined group training, and other attackers such as Giovanni Simeone were noted as absent.
