Market25 Jan 2027

Terms done: André Clovis is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Santa Clara waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Académico de Viseu is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market25 Jan 2027

Nikos Michelis asks to leave Académico de Viseu

“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.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Martim Fernandes is a medical away from Académico de Viseu

The deal with Porto is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Matt Grimes turns down Académico de Viseu

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Coventry City keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market25 Jan 2027

Tomás Silva is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Académico de Viseu is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Atlético Mineiro tell Académico de Viseu: Alexsander is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Lorougnon Gohi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Académico de Viseu

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

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Getterson Alves 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.

Robinho beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 47. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match19 Dec 2026

A hiding for Académico de Viseu

Beaten 0‑5 by Farense, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Ricardo Alves 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.

Boardroom21 Dec 2026

Nobody left the Académico de Viseu dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout21 Dec 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 0‑5 defeat, delivered by Sergio Ferreira to a room that had heard them before.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Beaten 5 times: a bad day for Matheus Sampaio

5 saves does not settle the argument about whose fault it was, and the argument will run all week. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines whoever caused them.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Académico de Viseu

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

Squad21 Dec 2026

Player of the week: Mohammed Bouldini

Somebody watched every match in the division at the weekend and decided he was the best thing in any of them. A small honour, and most careers end without one.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The plan did not have a place for Ricardo Alves

Nobody at Académico de Viseu is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad2 Nov 2026

61 days out for Juan Soriano after a fracture

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

Match28 Oct 2026

The cup run ends for Académico de Viseu

0‑2 against Famalicao, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Robinho 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.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Mohammed Bouldini 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.

Match31 Oct 2026

Penafiel take the points off Académico de Viseu

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

Market2 Nov 2026

Still no ink between Académico de Viseu and Ricardo Alves

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Académico de Viseu, another week without a signature from Ricardo Alves.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Denis Guţu gifts one

A goalkeeper’s error has no defender behind it to tidy it away. He knew before the ball crossed the line, the crowd knew a second later, and there is nothing anybody can say tonight.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Sergio Ferreira faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Sergio Ferreira after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

87% of the income goes out in wages at Académico de Viseu

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.
