Match

Segesta are in real trouble now

Position 10, 5 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

6 matches without a win for Segesta

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Segesta are no longer polite ones.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Matej Jukić

“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.

Match

Segesta come up short against Dugopolje

Dugopolje left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Marko Mikulić 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.

Squad

A first senior shirt for Giuseppe D'Angelo

Every debut is a small story about the future: Giuseppe D'Angelo, 22 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Boardroom

the manager is the new Segesta manager

“This is a club with real history, and I did not have to think about it for long.” The new manager takes charge with every slate wiped clean.

Market

Jurica Jurčec hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Segesta can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Matej Jukić out for 67 days

The medical room confirms 67 days on the sidelines for Matej Jukić, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom

The owner puts $23.8K into Segesta

This is money that keeps the lights on rather than money that buys a centre-half, and the difference is the whole story. A club funded by its owner rather than by its football has exactly one conversation left ahead of it.

Boardroom

Segesta cannot sign anybody

The embargo bars a fee being paid for a player, whatever the manager thinks the squad needs. Every rumour printed about this club between now and its lifting is a rumour about a deal that cannot happen.

Boardroom

Segesta are $16.8M in the red

The borrowing is past what the bank agreed, which is the line where a debt stops being how football is financed and starts being a problem. Every phone-in in this town will quote the figure for the next five years.
