Jhony Douglas 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 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Daniel Costa stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniel Costa and Ararat agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Renan

“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.

The Ararat Post

2 Nov 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market2 Nov 2026

Patrick Handzongo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Ararat they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Ararat

Miguel Rajani and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Daniel Costa signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Costa commits to Ararat for another 1 years.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words at Ararat training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jhony Douglas 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.

Market2 Nov 2026

Talks stall between Ararat and Miguel Rajani

“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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Daniel Costa 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 Ararat know which stage they are at.

The Goiatuba Post

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Goiatuba

Renan Silva and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match1 Aug 2026

Goiatuba come up short against Cascavel

Cascavel left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Felipe Alves signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Felipe Alves and Goiatuba agree another 2 years.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Danilo Fernandes answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Goiatuba has picked up the phone to Felipe Alves

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

Daniel Costa leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Daniel Costa leaves Goiatuba the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
