Inter Milan Star Reunites with Former Teammate Turned Coach
27 Sep, 2025
Summary
- Nicolo Barella and Fabio Pisacane were teammates in Sardinia
- Barella supports Pisacane's Cagliari in Coppa Italia Primavera final
- Barella remains loyal to his old club and teammates

On September 27, 2025, Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella will reunite with an old friend when his team travels to Cagliari. Barella and Fabio Pisacane were teammates in Sardinia back in 2019, but now Pisacane has taken over as the head coach of Cagliari.
Despite the change in roles, the two have reportedly stayed in close contact over the years. In fact, Barella even went to support Pisacane's Cagliari side in last season's Coppa Italia Primavera final, showcasing his continued loyalty to his former club and teammates.
This reunion comes after Barella faced some criticism for missing the funeral of Cagliari legend Gigi Riva. However, the reports indicate that Barella paid tribute to the iconic number nine privately, rather than making a public display. Now, the two old friends will face each other once again on the pitch, with Barella looking to help Inter secure a victory.
