Match

Ararat-Armenia out of the cup

BKMA ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Hakob Hakobyan hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ararat-Armenia can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Ararat-Armenia get their man

The chase for Arthur Coneglian ended with $170.0K changing hands and Noah out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Words at Ararat-Armenia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karen Muradyan is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Tempers go at Ararat-Armenia

Jorge Aquino was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

This league is too small for Héctor Noguera

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Ararat-Armenia will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Squad

Junior Julio gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Talha Sarıarslan

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Jorge Aquino brings the grey hairs Ararat-Armenia lacked

At 38, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Squad

Artur Serobyan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Artur Serobyan and Ararat-Armenia agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Ararat-Armenia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karen Muradyan is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

BKMA watching Alexandros Malis

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Ararat-Armenia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Junior Julio in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ararat-Armenia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Talks stall between Ararat-Armenia and Karen Muradyan

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

The clock runs on João Bravim's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
