Market31 Jan 2028

Florian Schock asks to leave Darmstadt 98

“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.

Market31 Jan 2028

Business is business: Luca Sirch goes

TSG Hoffenheim paid $3.8M and Darmstadt 98 took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market31 Jan 2028

Fabio Torsiello attracts admirers

The name of Fabio Torsiello has come up in conversations Darmstadt 98 were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Words at Darmstadt 98 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Guéla Doué is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets31 Jan 2028

Door shut on Oleksandr Zinchenko

Darmstadt 98 asked and Legia said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Killian Corredor beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad31 Jan 2028

A falling-out at Darmstadt 98

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

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Marvin Friedrich 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 dugout31 Jan 2028

When it matters, Axel Tape plays

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.

In brief

  • Player ratings Jordy Makengo stands above it all
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Marcel Schuhen

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad13 Dec 2027

Real improvement from Ezechiel Banzuzi at Darmstadt 98

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ezechiel Banzuzi is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings13 Dec 2027

Nobody could get near Killian Corredor

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market13 Dec 2027

Ezechiel Banzuzi raises the bar for Darmstadt 98

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Darmstadt 98 heard it as anything else.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Words at Darmstadt 98 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Guéla Doué is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout13 Dec 2027

Julian Krahl 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.

Match11 Dec 2027

Darmstadt 98 come up short against Greuther Fürth

Greuther Fürth left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad13 Dec 2027

A falling-out at Darmstadt 98

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

The dugout13 Dec 2027

Jan Fuchs faces the questions

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

The dugout13 Dec 2027

Somebody else is better right now than Marcel Schuhen

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market26 Jul 2027

Sergio López puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Darmstadt 98, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Guéla Doué 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.

Squad26 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Darmstadt 98

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

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Door shut on Daniel Peretz

Darmstadt 98 asked and Bayern Munich said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Too much change too quickly at Darmstadt 98

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Darmstadt 98 try to borrow Fábio Silva

Borussia Dortmund have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

No hiding place for Danny Schmidt

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

The dugout26 Jul 2027

A door opens for Bartosz Białek

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market26 Jul 2027

The shop window has Tim Arnold in it

Darmstadt 98 have let the market know Tim Arnold can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
