Squad4 Jan 2027

71 days out for Muriel after a fracture

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

Market4 Jan 2027

Wanderson asks to leave Nautico

“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.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Muriel 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 Nautico this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Nautico rebuffed over Andrin Hunziker

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

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

A loan move for Lee Young-Jun is in the works

Nautico have made the call to Grasshopper. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Nautico try to borrow Kenny Quetant

Werder Bremen 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.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Ítalo Pica-Pau is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Ítalo Pica-Pau has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad4 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Nautico

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

The dugout4 Jan 2027

A door opens for Luiz Felipe

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Nautico

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

Squad5 Oct 2026

Arnaldo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages eat 143% of everything Nautico earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Nathan

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Nathan has come out of that comparison in the side, and Nautico have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Paulo Sérgio has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Paulo Sérgio has written the date down.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Gabriel Índio knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Nautico, and both men came out saying it was fine.

In brief

  • Squad The penny has dropped for Luiz Felipe
  • The dugout Titi keeps his manager's vote

Squad21 Sep 2026

A muscle injury sidelines Muriel for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Nautico will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Nautico

Muriel 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.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Luiz Felipe

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

The dugout21 Sep 2026

A promise honoured for Auremir

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Nautico told Auremir something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Gustavo Henrique falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Ítalo Pica-Pau knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ítalo Pica-Pau trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nathan scores twice — 8.10

Two goals and a mark of 8.10 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Nautico

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

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Muriel 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.

Market14 Sep 2026

André Assis steps up from the Nautico academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. André Assis has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

The game went through Yuri — 7.20

Marked 7.20 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Match12 Sep 2026

Nautico caught on 89 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Criciuma scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Match12 Sep 2026

Nautico share the spoils with Criciuma

A 2‑2 draw with Criciuma leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Reginaldo Lopes

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Paulo Fernandes: “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 2‑2 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

In brief

  • Squad Nathan finally opens his account
  • The dugout The plan did not have a place for Juninho
  • Squad The shirt belongs to Carlos Júnior now
