Mateo Bačić 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 Sesvete this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Moses Zambrang Barnabas

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

Match15 Aug 2026

Sesvete come up short against Hrvace

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Maro Vrdoljak is a square peg at Sesvete

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Filip Majer left the room before anybody could ask which.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Sesvete try to borrow Svit Hočevar

Olimpija Ljubljana 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.

Ilan Pejić beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Toni Gorupec

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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Sven Šunta needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Sesvete know which stage they are at.

Maro Vrdoljak due for a Sesvete medical

Everything agreed with Triglav Kranj, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Words exchanged at Sesvete

Mateo Bačić 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.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Sesvete rebuffed over Aleks Stojaković

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

Match8 Aug 2026

Cibalia take the points off Sesvete

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Vanja Šare was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Sesvete promote Antonio Pasalic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Antonio Pasalic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Filip Petkov joins the Sesvete first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Filip Petkov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Sesvete promote Petar Juranovic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Petar Juranovic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Sesvete promote Martin Srna from within
