Miro asks to leave Dinamo Makhachkala

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

No end in sight to Dinamo Makhachkala's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Dinamo Makhachkala has to find a result from somewhere.

Tempers go at Dinamo Makhachkala

Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Dinamo Makhachkala against Spartak Moscow

0‑2 to Spartak Moscow, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Miro 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.

Words at Dinamo Makhachkala training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jan Đapo 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.

Mohamed Azzi 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 Dinamo Makhachkala this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

Dinamo Makhachkala cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A long bet from Dinamo Makhachkala on Andrey Ivlev

He is 19, and nobody at Dinamo Makhachkala signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Makhachkala pick somebody else ahead of Darío Pereira

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

A Dinamo Makhachkala teenager takes the young player award

Diaa Eddine Mechid is 20, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Match15 Aug 2026

Point won or two lost for Dinamo Makhachkala?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Akhmat? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

A wage question at Dinamo Makhachkala

Houssem Mrezigue has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Dinamo Makhachkala pick up Esteban Rueda for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Esteban Rueda arrives at Dinamo Makhachkala with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.
