Squad28 Jun 2027

Vasil Kaymakanov 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.

Tempers go at Yantra

Hristo Popadiyn 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.

A row about effort at Yantra

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Andrey Yordanov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Renilson wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Yantra can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

Martin Bachev asks for a word with the manager

“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 dugout28 Jun 2027

No hiding place for Pedro Oliveira

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Pedro Oliveira, and the manager let it.

Andrey Yordanov 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.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Ebenezer Simons de Fanti

“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.

Steven Kirilov 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 Yantra, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Arhan Isuf story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Arhan Isuf signs something — a contract at Yantra or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Xavello Druiventak is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.20 with 81 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Renilson gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Renilson has just signed for Yantra, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Andrey Yordanov was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Boardroom15 Feb 2027

Yantra agree a free transfer for Georgi Ivanov

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Door shut on Georg Stojanovski

Yantra asked and Spartak 1918 said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

No hiding place for Gennadiy Ganev

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gennadiy Ganev, and the manager let it.

Market15 Feb 2027

Yantra buy the years ahead of Samuel

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
