Market7 Sep 2026

Nik Kapun 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 The request is on a desk at NK Krka, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Mark Gliha goes up and wins it — 7.90

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 7.90 for the rest of it.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 17 in, 1 out at NK Krka

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 17 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

An offer of $170.0K for Filip Panić

NK Krka have gone to ND Gorica with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at NK Krka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jordi Govea 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 targets7 Sep 2026

NK Krka rebuffed over Marcel Mendes-Dudziński

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

Match5 Sep 2026

NK Krka get the job done against NK Domzale

A 2‑1 win over NK Domzale, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Leon Bičanić

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Gregor Medle

“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.

Match19 Aug 2026

NK Krka march on in the cup

NK Krsko are out and NK Krka go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Domen Žur 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 NK Krka, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Darko Marjanović

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Luka Čadež pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

NK Krka bid $450.0K for Tian Varmaz Plava

The offer went to NK Maribor this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Match22 Aug 2026

Marko Brkić’s goal not enough for NK Krka

Marko Brkić scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to NK Maribor, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

NK Krka rebuffed over Nejc Skubic

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

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Niko Domjanić

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

One of those days for Niko Domjanić

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.45, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match15 Aug 2026

Chastening afternoon for NK Krka

A 1‑5 beating by NK Celje was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Luka Čadež stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Petar Kampl turns down NK Krka

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: NK Domzale keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at NK Krka

Andraž Lipec 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Gregor Medle among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Gregor Medle on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of NK Krka and NK Celje.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Jure Handanovic

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at NK Krka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leon Bičanić 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.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the NK Krka 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.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Miha Oblak faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Miha Oblak after 1‑5, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for NK Krka

1‑5 against ND Gorica, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Luka Čadež keeps NK Krka in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market3 Aug 2026

Jaša Hribar asks to leave NK Krka

“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.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Marko Brkić turns it into his own net

Nobody's fault and entirely his: a goal that goes into the book with his name against it and nothing about it intended. NK Krka deserved better, and so did he.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Luka Čadež signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luka Čadež and NK Krka agree another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at NK Krka

Andraž Lipec 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Leon Bičanić among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Leon Bičanić on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of NK Krka and ND Gorica.

Market3 Aug 2026

Aleksa Petrović attracts admirers

The name of Aleksa Petrović has come up in conversations NK Krka were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at NK Krka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leon Bičanić 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.
