Match30 Nov 2026

Itabirito refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 31 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Match28 Nov 2026

Whatever happens, Itabirito do not lose

10 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Serginho, 40, rolls back the years — 7.84

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.84 at 40, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Transfer targets30 Nov 2026

Lauro turns down Itabirito

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Itabirito

Serginho 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.

Boardroom30 Nov 2026

Wages swallow 214% of the Itabirito income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Match28 Nov 2026

Itabirito make home a hard place to visit

8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Ruan beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Gílson Alves

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match7 Nov 2026

Still nobody has beaten Itabirito

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Itabirito

Serginho and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Flávio Nunes

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

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Kevlin takes the honours

Marked 7.19 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Itabirito had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Júnior Amaral: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Squad9 Nov 2026

“I want to play”: Tomás Gemelli speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Match7 Nov 2026

Point won or two lost for Itabirito?

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

Squad9 Nov 2026

Tiago Pedra needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Itabirito know which stage they are at.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Facundo Silva still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Itabirito would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Match8 Aug 2026

Itabirito tear Barra apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 7‑0 against Barra, and it could have been more.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A day Luis Campero will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Serginho scores twice — 8.05

Two goals and a mark of 8.05 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Eduardo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Itabirito

Ruan 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Itabirito and Barra in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

One of those days for Luis Campero

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.61, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Itabirito agree a free transfer for Saymon

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Danilo Lima joins the Itabirito first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Danilo Lima is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Ruan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ruan and Itabirito agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Ruan 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 Itabirito this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Itabirito against Inter de Limeira

0‑1 to Inter de Limeira, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad3 Aug 2026

7 new faces, and Itabirito are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Júnior Amaral: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Itabirito and Luis Campero

“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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Luiz Carlos brings the grey hairs Itabirito lacked

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Fidélis brings the grey hairs Itabirito lacked

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Luis Campero asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
