Market11 Jan 2027

Facundo Cáseres 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 The request is on a desk at Gil Vicente, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Bruno Santos breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Murilo Souza runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Santi García 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 Gil Vicente this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market11 Jan 2027

Gil Vicente sell Mohamed Kaba for $660.0K

Mohamed Kaba has left for Leiria in a $660.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Gil Vicente rebuffed over Matías Lacava

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Vizela have kept their man, and Gil Vicente go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market11 Jan 2027

Marvin Elimbi is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Gil Vicente has been clear about where Marvin Elimbi stands, which is more than many ever get.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

A loan move for Matt Grimes is in the works

Gil Vicente have made the call to Coventry City. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

A loan move for Francisco Moura is in the works

Gil Vicente have made the call to Porto. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The Leiria Courier

11 Jan 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match9 Jan 2027

Still nobody has beaten Leiria

The unbeaten run reaches 11. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match9 Jan 2027

Leiria make home a hard place to visit

11 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Market11 Jan 2027

Mohamed Kaba is a Leiria player

The fee is $660.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Gil Vicente drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Leiria

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

Squad11 Jan 2027

Maga signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Maga commits to Leiria for another 4 years.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Words at Leiria training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jair Silva 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 targets11 Jan 2027

Door shut on Ivo Mammini

Leiria asked and Gimnasia La Plata said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match9 Jan 2027

Juan Muñoz sends Leiria past Porto B

It finished 1‑0, and it was Juan Muñoz’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Leiria.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Jair Silva runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market14 Sep 2026

Zé Carlos asks to leave Gil Vicente

“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.

Market14 Sep 2026

Mohamed Kaba’s move to Feirense falls through

The deal that would have taken Mohamed Kaba to Feirense has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Gil Vicente with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Murilo Souza runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Gil Vicente against Estoril Praia

1‑3 to Estoril Praia, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Pacos de Ferreira tell Gil Vicente: Diegão 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.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Rafael Conceicao answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Matías Martínez 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 Gil Vicente this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Antonio Espigares

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

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Pablo Andrade dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Facundo Cáseres asks to leave Gil Vicente

“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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Murilo Souza wins it after the whistle should have gone

93 minutes played. Murilo Souza found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Santa Clara went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Murilo Souza scores twice — 8.36

Two goals and a mark of 8.36 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Facundo Cáseres goes up and wins it — 7.96

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.96 for the rest of it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Vitoria Guimaraes come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Gil Vicente did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

João Teixeira comes home

The shirt still fits. João Teixeira is back at Gil Vicente, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Gil Vicente

Zé Carlos 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Gil Vicente find a way past Santa Clara

Santa Clara made Gil Vicente work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Sikou Niakaté

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