Squad15 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Sport Recife

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

Loan watch15 Feb 2027

Rickelme counts the days

“I watch every Sport Recife game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Jequié runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

When it matters, Claudinho 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.

Market15 Feb 2027

The Ferreirinha talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Sport Recife know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Loan watch15 Feb 2027

Nobody is scoring past Jandrei at Juventude

6 shut-outs in 19 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Jandrei has been having a lot of them.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

The manager makes Ferreirinha a promise

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

In brief

  • Squad Diego Hernández still has not settled
  • Squad Sabino is training like a man with a point to make
  • The dugout The manager plants his flag on Lucca

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

Medical ends the Juninho Capixaba deal

Everything was agreed with Bragantino and then the doctor spoke. Sport Recife have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Market28 Dec 2026

Universidad Catolica come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

Corinthians tell Sport Recife: Raniele 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.

Market28 Dec 2026

Lucas Ramon moves on

Botafogo pay $960.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad28 Dec 2026

The step up is real for Lucca

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Sport Recife

Wendell 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.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Sport Recife

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sabino was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Pablo Maia 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 Pablo Maia is on it.

Market28 Dec 2026

Sport Recife put Brenno up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Brenno may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad28 Sep 2026

6 saves: Rafael was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match26 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Sport Recife's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sport Recife has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Sport Recife

Jonathan Calleri 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The step up is real for Lucca

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match26 Sep 2026

No clean sheets in sight for Sport Recife

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match26 Sep 2026

Sport Recife come up short against Fluminense

Fluminense left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Fábio Rodrigues: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Carlos Coronel

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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Hugo Leonardo 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.
