The Dobrudzha Courier

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match12 Dec 2026

Dobrudzha taken apart

0‑3 to Spartak 1918, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Stefan Smarkalev stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market14 Dec 2026

Georgi Argilashki puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Dobrudzha, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Dobrudzha

Kristiyan Balov 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.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Dobrudzha

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Malick Fall was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Montassar Triki

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Montassar Triki, and the manager let it.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Jesús Rueda signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jesús Rueda commits to Dobrudzha for another 1 years.

Boardroom14 Dec 2026

Doors closed at Dobrudzha

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Yordan Nedyalkov to a room that had heard them before.

The Dobrudzha Courier

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tekio 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 Dobrudzha this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tekio is slowing down

At 36, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Jhonatan Cuero wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Dobrudzha know it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Dobrudzha

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Malick Fall was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Dobrudzha keep their word to Kristiyan Balov

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for André Sarim

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to André Sarim, and the manager let it.

Market12 Oct 2026

Jesús Rueda brings the grey hairs Dobrudzha lacked

At 39, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Stefan Smarkalev goes back to face Botev Plovdiv

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Stefan Smarkalev’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Dobrudzha needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Valdu Té talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Dobrudzha know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

In brief
