Words exchanged at Vitebsk

Radivoj Bosić 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.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Vladislav Grekovich 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.

Market11 Jan 2027

Talks stall between Vitebsk and Vladislav Grekovich

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Arseniy Galushko has been promised minutes

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 Arseniy Galushko has written the date down.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Ivan Grudko 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 Vitebsk, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market11 Jan 2027

The Zakhar Chervyakov question follows Vitebsk around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Zakhar Chervyakov’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dmitriy Kharitonov

43 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Vitebsk lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Ivan Grudko says Vitebsk went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Vitebsk

Radivoj Bosić 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.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Roman Lisovskiy signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Roman Lisovskiy and Vitebsk agree another 3 years.

Market23 Nov 2026

The Alexandr Burnos question follows Vitebsk around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Alexandr Burnos’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Frol Panarin 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 Frol Panarin is on it.

Market5 Oct 2026

Yevhen Protasov 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 Vitebsk can pretend not to have heard.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Radivoj Bosić in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Vitebsk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Radivoj Bosić

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Radivoj Bosić has come out of that comparison in the side, and Vitebsk have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Ivan Grudko 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Vitebsk have started building around Nikita Goilo

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager makes Ivan Novichkov a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Vitebsk. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Match12 Aug 2026

Vitebsk bow out of the cup

Slonim go through and Vitebsk go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ivan Grudko was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Vitebsk say no — this time

The offer from Uni-X Labs for Frol Panarin 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Vitebsk

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Egnatia Rrogozhinë tell Vitebsk: Daniel Adjessa 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Vitebsk sell Evgeniy Novykh for $15.0K

Evgeniy Novykh has left for BATE in a $15.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Match15 Aug 2026

Vitebsk refuse to lose to Isloch

A point taken on 91 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Kirill Rodionov

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

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Vitebsk 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.

In brief

  • Transfer targets A loan move for Momodou Jobarteh is in the works
