Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Radnik Surdulica will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Vukašin Bogdanović 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.

Nemanja Ilić 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.

Squad26 Oct 2026
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Luka Zorić runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Mahmudu Bajo 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.

Cukaricki come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Radnik Surdulica did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market31 Aug 2026
Luka Puzović 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 Radnik Surdulica can pretend not to have heard.
Squad31 Aug 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Radnik Surdulica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Market31 Aug 2026
Crvena Zvezda paid $450.0K and Radnik Surdulica took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Business is business: Axel Urie goes
Zeleznicar Pancevo paid $390.0K and Radnik Surdulica took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Match29 Aug 2026
6 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.

Words at Radnik Surdulica training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sandro Trémoulet 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.
Squad31 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Davor Nedeljković, and the manager let it.

Luka Zorić runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Squad24 Aug 2026
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Stefan Ranđelović: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
Match19 Aug 2026
A 2‑2 win over Vojvodina, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.
Market24 Aug 2026
“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.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Vukašin Bogdanović 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.
Market24 Aug 2026
Crvena Zvezda are about to pick up the phone
A conversation is coming this week. Radnik Surdulica will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Sandro Trémoulet 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.
Match22 Aug 2026
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Aleksandar Pejović. 1‑0 against Napredak, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
Squad24 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Rafael Pontelo
“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.

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

Nobody could get near Luka Zorić
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Market10 Aug 2026
48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
Match8 Aug 2026
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market3 Aug 2026
The offer from IMT for Stefan Ranđelović was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Squad3 Aug 2026
140 appearances across 9 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

“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.
Market3 Aug 2026
Still no offer on the table, and Đorđe Jovanović’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
Match1 Aug 2026
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Partizan will be the happier side with the point.
