Andrii Porokhnia keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Chernihiv may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Oleksandr Roshchynskyi puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Chernihiv, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words exchanged at Chernihiv
Maksym Serdiuk 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.
Match19 Sep 2026
Nyva take the points off Chernihiv
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Ivan Yaremchuk left the room before anybody could ask which.

Chris Popov signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Chris Popov and Chernihiv agree another 4 years.
Looking ahead21 Sep 2026
Dmytro Sakhno faces his old club
Victoriia Sumy next, and one man in the Chernihiv dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Pavlo Shushko knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Chernihiv, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Denys Bezborodko talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Chernihiv know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
In brief
- Player ratings Daniil Doleček runs at them all day
- Market Chernihiv add cover with Chris Popov
- The dugout Dmytro Sakhno gets picked when it counts
