The dugout19 Oct 2026
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Dnepr Mogilev may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Squad19 Oct 2026
At 21 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.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Andrey Denisyuk 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.

Roman Piletskiy 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.
Loan watch19 Oct 2026
“I did not go to Osipovichi to sit and watch. I want to come back to Dnepr Mogilev and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 10 matches say the rest.

Pavel Sedich 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.

Egor Karpitskiy 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.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Andrey Denisyuk was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Artem Varganov, and the manager let it.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
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 Roman Piletskiy has written the date down.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
Squad12 Oct 2026
“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

“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.

Only the photograph left for Pavel Sedich
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Pavel Sedich will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dnepr Mogilev the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Kirill Kirilenko 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.

Ilya Rabeshko gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Ilya Rabeshko has just signed for Dnepr Mogilev, and for once the answer mattered.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Dnepr Mogilev asked and Dinamo Kirov said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
At 20 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.
Match22 Aug 2026
A 2‑0 win over Ostrovets, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.15, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
