Resurrection in Italy: Jesus signs for third division club | OneFootball

Walking on water, healing the blind, or raising Lazarus from the dead: Back in the day, Jesus made quite a name for himself with some pretty impressive feats. Lately, however, things have been rather quiet around the Son of God. To be precise: For roughly the past 2,000 years, not much has happened. But now, the wait for another Jesus comeback after the resurrection seems to be coming to an end.

It has now become known that Jesus Christ has signed with the traditional Italian club US Livorno. The winger has signed a one-year contract with the club from Tuscany, which currently plays in the third division, running until June 2026.

For someone who could theoretically just double the number of goals, such a signing must of course be seen as a coup. However, a look at the statistics also makes it clear why things have been so quiet around Jesus lately: The Son of God apparently disappeared a bit into the obscurity of Italy’s fourth division and wasn’t really able to make much of an impression there either: only three goals in 71 Serie D matches since 2021.

Well, at least he’s now made it to the third division, which can already be chalked up as another resurrection. And there’s still potential: after all, Jesus is only 20 years old.
