Apparently Perugia (Serie C) are interested in signing Niko, who is now a free agent after his contract with Padova expired.

If you're using transfermarkt it's really handy if you have an account with them. From there you can create player watchlists where you can set it to receive notifications for players for things like contract updates, transfers, games played, goals scored etc. You can also add and remove players from your watchlist as you please.
Most handy tool for following Kiwi players who are out of the limelight abroad, but I know their information still gets kept up to date as and when details become available.
Slight correction in that Padova lost in the final last season...but yes, winning the Cup only gives you a spot in the play offs and access to the first round of the Coppa Italia proper for the following season...so not really worthy.
What they need is to get that elusive first spot on the ladder...so automatic promotion.
Pre-season starts for Padova, and guess who is going along with the squad? Niko is...
I could have sworn his contract expired at the end of last season, but transfermarkt says 30 June 25..so either I was wrong, or his contract has been renewed (can't find anything online).
Anyway, another season at Padova sounds like. Hopefully they can get promoted this time. The fans are fuming and the owners have reined in their spending, not a great recipe for success (so far)

Great news, Niko has been unveiled as Padova's captain for this season.
They have their work cut out for them. The fans are unhappy and the owners have reined in spending...yet they are still expected to be promoted.

Starts and gets 67 minutes in a 1-3 loss in the Coppa Italia vs Serie B outfit Cesena.
Score was 0-2 when subbed off.
Presume he played higher up the pitch as Padova played a 3-4-1-2 formation.
This was the Coppa Italia proper (eg FA Cup) they qualified for last year, now they're back in the Serie C Cup. Wouldn't be the end of the world if they got knocked out of that too as it could prove a distraction for not much reward (a place in the play offs)

Rides the pine in a 1-0 win. Early times but Padova are 4 for 4. 12 points and top of the table along with Renate.
If history taught us anything, it's that coming second often won't be enough to gain promotion to Serie B, given how gruelling the play offs are. So hopefully they can keep Renate at bay.
