Words at Orebro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antonio Yakoub 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.

Rato has settled at Orebro

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

The manager comes out for Jacob Ortmark

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Jacob Ortmark has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

Dino Salihović is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Orebro is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match10 Oct 2026

Whatever happens, Orebro do not lose

8 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.

Samuel Wikman runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Buster Runheim is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.

Tempers go at Orebro

Christopher Redenstrand 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 terraces12 Oct 2026

The crowd has taken to Giuseppe Bovalina

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Rato signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rato and Orebro agree another 3 years.

7 new faces, and Orebro 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.

Giuseppe Bovalina takes the honours

Marked 7.15 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Orebro had the best player on the pitch.
