Squad26 Apr 2027

Juan Pablo Presentado breaks a bone — 77 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 77 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Arda Usluoğlu, 20, steals the show — 8.10

Marked 8.10 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Türker Dırdıroğlu: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Boluspor have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Boluspor

Alexandru Băluţă and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Words at Boluspor training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Víctor Cantillo 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.

The terraces26 Apr 2027

The crowd has taken to Arda Usluoğlu

At 20 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.

Match24 Apr 2027

Arda Usluoğlu the difference as Boluspor beat Istanbulspor

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Arda Usluoğlu. 1‑0 against Istanbulspor, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Home is on Mourad Kaaouach's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Boluspor are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Mustafa Yildirim has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Mustafa Yildirim on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Boluspor

Necip Uysal 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Alexandru Băluţă 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

João Amaral is slowing down

At 35, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Juan Pablo Presentado stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Juan Pablo Presentado and Boluspor agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market12 Oct 2026

Bartu Kulbilge told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Bartu Kulbilge has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Boluspor.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Mert Çetin 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.

Market12 Oct 2026

Jhonarby Salazar brings the grey hairs Boluspor lacked

At 35, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

A reunion for Dean Liço

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Igdir FK in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Almir Aganspahić talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Boluspor know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad28 Sep 2026

24 days out for Harun Alpsoy after a fracture

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Boluspor

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Víctor Cantillo 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Sakaryaspor take the points off Boluspor

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at Boluspor

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Mustafa Yildirim to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Doğan Can Davas runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Alptekin Çaylı

“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.

Looking ahead28 Sep 2026

A reunion for João Amaral

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Bandirmaspor in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
