Squad1 Mar 2027

Giorgi Sadghobelashvili breaks a bone — 89 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 89 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market1 Mar 2027

João Guilherme 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 The request is on a desk at Chikhura, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Cris wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Chikhura can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Cris wants to finish where he started

Every long career reaches the week the player starts thinking about the last one. He would like it to be at the club that first put him on a pitch, and Chikhura now know that too.

Squad1 Mar 2027

A falling-out at Chikhura

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

The dugout1 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Fernando Caixeta

“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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match12 Sep 2026

Chikhura taken apart

0‑4 to Dinamo Batumi, 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 Sep 2026

106 days out for Ilia Buzaladze after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chikhura will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market14 Sep 2026

Avtandil Arveladze 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 Chikhura can pretend not to have heard.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Avto Tsartsidze is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Chikhura rebuffed over Éberth

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Coritiba have kept their man, and Chikhura go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom14 Sep 2026

Doors closed at Chikhura

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 Sep 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 0‑4 defeat, delivered by Irakli Daraselia to a room that had heard them before.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Chikhura training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nika Buzaladze 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

4 past Cris

Whether it was the goalkeeper or the ten in front of him is the argument that will fill every conversation in town this week. 5 saves does not settle it either way.

Squad17 Aug 2026

135 days out for Ilia Buzaladze after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chikhura will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match12 Aug 2026

Chikhura bow out of the cup

Kolkheti go through and Chikhura go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Chikhura

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Léo Santos

Chikhura asked and Dinamo Tbilisi said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match15 Aug 2026

Chikhura get the job done against Guria

A 1‑0 win over Guria, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nika Kapanadze ran the middle of the pitch — 6.80

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 11 combined actions and a mark of 6.80, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Market17 Aug 2026

Chikhura and Cris are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Chikhura ask about Gabriel William

A loan enquiry to Ituano: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Chikhura try to borrow Jhonnatam

Guarany de Bagé have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The ASA Post

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match1 Aug 2026

Júnior Viçosa leads the rout of Lagarto

4‑1, and Júnior Viçosa took the headlines on an afternoon when everything ASA tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Keliton runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Keliton stays put

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at ASA

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

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Felipe Tavares has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Felipe Tavares on a 4‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Sammuel finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. ASA have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Sammuel takes the armband

It is a strip of cloth and it decides nothing on a Saturday. It still tells the dressing room exactly whose opinion the manager values, which is the whole point of it.

Market3 Aug 2026

Cris leaves for nothing

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Júnior Viçosa leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Júnior Viçosa leaves ASA the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
