A falling-out at Malmo FF
Anders Christiansen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
Market23 Nov 2026
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Sead Hakšabanović’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
The manager makes an example of Valdemar Grymer
“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.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
The manager makes Andrej Đurić a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Malmo FF. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
Back issues

Squad19 Oct 2026
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Oscar Sjöstrand is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
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.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Elliott Andersson commits to Malmo FF for another 3 years.
Market19 Oct 2026
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Daníel Guðjohnsen has his answer from Malmo FF; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
Andrej Đurić 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.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
Robert Taylor gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Robert Taylor is on it.
Match17 Oct 2026
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Oscar Berg was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Malmo FF dressing room was either.

Daníel Guðjohnsen is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 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.

A falling-out at Malmo FF
Pontus Jansson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tarik Karic commits to Malmo FF for another 4 years.

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Gabriel Busanello has his answer from Malmo FF; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
Looking ahead12 Oct 2026
IFK Goteborg next, which means a week that starts on Monday. Everything else on this page will be forgotten by Saturday; this fixture will not be forgotten for a year.

Robin Olsen 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.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Pontus Jansson is on it.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Gabriel Busanello trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Emmanuel Ekong has written the date down.

Cup progress for Malmo FF
A 1‑0 win over Gefle, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
The clubs have shaken hands with Espanyol; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.
Market17 Aug 2026
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Inter Turku waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Malmo FF is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
No sign of nerves from Oscar Sjöstrand at 21 — 8.30
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Oscar Sjöstrand did not need any: 8.30, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
Market17 Aug 2026
Malmo FF say no — this time
The offer from Ilves for Oscar Sjöstrand 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.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Malmo FF close the window on a squad of their own making
1 in and 1 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.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

A falling-out at Malmo FF
Pontus Jansson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
IF Elfsborg will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Isak Pettersson has pre-agreed a move to Malmo FF, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.
