Liam Kerrigan joined David Wilson on Off The Ball Breakfast to chat life and football in Italy, from his League of Ireland roots at Sligo Rovers and UCD to his current stint with Serie C side AC Renate.

He talks about the realities of adapting abroad: the language barrier, the intensity of training, and the pressure that comes with one mistake in Italian football.

Kerrigan also gives an inside look at Como’s rapid rise, what Cesc Fàbregas is like as a coach, and the buzz around the club’s Champions League adventure — including their upcoming tie with RB Leipzig.
