The Akhmat Chronicle
Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
Akhmat agree $8.8M for Alexandr Sobolev
The clubs have shaken hands with Zenit; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Akhmat close the window on a squad of their own making
19 in and 3 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Nobody could get near Egas Cacintura
Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Market14 Sep 2026
Akhmat sign Ivan Timoshenko for $500.0K
The paperwork is done: Ivan Timoshenko joins from Rodina in a deal worth $500.0K. Now comes the harder part.
Market14 Sep 2026
Akhmat say no — this time
The offer from Volga for Rasul Mitsaev 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.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Zinho Vanheusden 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 Akhmat this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Market14 Sep 2026
Naftan join the queue for Galymzhan Kenzhebek
Add another name to the list: Naftan have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Galymzhan Kenzhebek. The answer from Akhmat has not changed — yet.
Match12 Sep 2026
At last: Akhmat win one
6 matches without a win, and then this, against Krylya Sovetov. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.
Squad14 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Akhmat
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Egas Cacintura was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
