One year without you, Nan. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

I still struggle to understand how a whole year has passed. There are days when it still doesnโ€™t feel real, and I still find myself reaching for the phone to make our daily call, whether that was to check in, share some news or just hear your voice.

I donโ€™t think I ever anticipated how difficult the months following your passing would be. Mentally, it was one of the hardest periods of my life, and for a while, I genuinely lost a part of myself.

But this past year has taught me a lot about grief, recovery and finding my way back. I finally feel like myself again, returning to football, management and teaching, doing the things I love.

I just hope the person Iโ€™m becoming again, and the journey Iโ€™ve taken to get here, is making you proud.

Thereโ€™s so much I wish I could tell you, and I know youโ€™d have plenty to say about it all too!

I miss you more than words can explain, and accepting youโ€™re no longer here is still incredibly difficult.

One year without you, but a lifetime of you with me.

Love you always, Nan. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Why do I support Inter Milan? Why the love for Italy? ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’™

Itโ€™s a question I get asked quite often.

For me, the connection to Italy has always felt deeper than simply supporting a football club. Thereโ€™s a family story behind it โ€” and it starts with my surname.

My family surname today is Mallett, but its origin is the Italian surname Maletti (with a single โ€œLโ€), a name historically found in northern Italy, particularly in Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy.

Maletti follows a traditional Italian surname structure. The suffix โ€œ-ettiโ€ is a diminutive and patronymic form used in Italian surnames, associated with ideas such as โ€œdescendants ofโ€ or โ€œa family branch.โ€ These forms became established as hereditary surnames during the late medieval period.

As Italian families migrated to English-speaking countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, surnames were often anglicised over time through everyday administration โ€” including ship manifests, census records, school records, employment documents and civil registrations.

Spelling could gradually change as names were adapted to a new language and pronunciation.

In my familyโ€™s story, that journey is:

Maletti โ†’ Malett โ†’ Mallett

Contrary to the popular myth, immigration officials did not generally simply rename people at the border. Name changes were more commonly a gradual process, appearing across different records as families settled and adapted to their new surroundings.

So while Mallett looks English today, its story takes me back to Maletti โ€” and to Italy. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

The spelling changed.

The connection didnโ€™t.

And perhaps that goes some way to explaining why, when people ask me โ€œWhy Inter Milan?โ€ or โ€œWhy Italy?โ€โ€ฆ

thereโ€™s a little more to the answer than just football. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

๐Ÿš€ DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF WIGAN ATHLETIC PLAYERS ๐Ÿ”ตโšช

Weโ€™re proud to launch a brand-new Player Development Pathway delivered by JM Coaching, led by Wigan Athletic Ladies & Girls First Team Head Coach James Mallett.

This is not a replacement for team training. Itโ€™s an opportunity for players who want to develop further to access additional specialist coaching designed around their individual development.

So, what makes this different?

James brings 17+ years of coaching experience across grassroots football, academy environments, Regional Talent Clubs and senior womenโ€™s football, alongside UEFA A Licence & UEFA Elite Youth A Licence qualifications.

His experience also includes working within The Football Associationโ€™s female talent pathway, 4 years within female academy/RTC environments, and 4 years coaching in the womenโ€™s game across Tiers 3โ€“6.

๐Ÿ“ˆ What does that mean for our players?

โšฝ Weekly technical development clinics
๐Ÿ“‹ Age-specific coaching curriculum
๐Ÿง  Technical, tactical & mental development
๐Ÿ‘ค Individual feedback and player development support
๐Ÿ•๏ธ Half-term development camps
โญ Priority access to specialist coaching events
๐ŸŽฏ Subsidised 1-to-1 coaching
๐Ÿ”ต A clear pathway from Foundation Phase towards First Team football

The aim is simple: give every Wigan Athletic Ladies & Girls player access to a higher level of individual development, clearer targets and a consistent coaching philosophy throughout their journey.

We want players to leave sessions not just having trained, but understanding what they need to improve, why they need to improve it, and how they can take the next step.

This is about more than extra football.

Itโ€™s about developing confident players, raising standards and creating genuine opportunities for progression.

Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it. ๐Ÿ’™
