A fracture rules Stefan Ilić out for 26 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Smederevo 1924 will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A falling-out at Smederevo 1924

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

Boardroom30 Nov 2026

Wages swallow 147% of the Smederevo 1924 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.

Aleksandar Katanić 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.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Bojan Balaž 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.

Match30 Nov 2026

Smederevo 1924 at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 10, 20 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Cesinha 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 Smederevo 1924 know it.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Half-satisfied: Marko Grujic on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The plan did not have a place for Ognjen Laušević

Nobody at Smederevo 1924 is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

A falling-out at Smederevo 1924

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

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages eat 163% of everything Smederevo 1924 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.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Srđan Spiridonović

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match3 Oct 2026

Smederevo 1924 refuse to lose to FAP Priboj

A point taken on 90 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Stefan Filipović

“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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Cesinha wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Smederevo 1924 can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Stefan Ilić takes the honours

Marked 7.87 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Smederevo 1924 had the best player on the pitch.

Match3 Oct 2026

Đorđe Glavinić rescues a point for Smederevo 1924

It needed Đorđe Glavinić to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against FAP Priboj, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Marko Grujic was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Smederevo 1924 dressing room was either.
