A falling-out at Rudar Velenje

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

Words at Rudar Velenje training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sandro Zukić 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.

The dugout3 May 2027

No hiding place for Valent Šavor

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

Tilen Rajter Krebs knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Rudar Velenje, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Valent Šavor wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Rudar Velenje will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

The terraces3 May 2027

The stands have heard the Tilen Rajter Krebs talk too

What was a back-page story is now a matter for the terraces, and the terraces do not do nuance. Rudar Velenje would like it dealt with before it becomes the only question anybody asks.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Rudar Velenje

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

Transfer targets15 Feb 2027

Rudar Velenje rebuffed over Luka Baš

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

The dugout15 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Darko Pranjič

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

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Josip Perković asks for a word with the manager

“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.

Market15 Feb 2027

The Adam Vošnjak story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Adam Vošnjak signs something — a contract at Rudar Velenje or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Rastko Rastoka has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Rudar Velenje will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

The manager makes Tomislav Knežević a promise

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

Market15 Feb 2027

The window shut and Ajdin Kadrić is still in the building

Rudar Velenje spent a month trying to move him and nobody rang back. He trains with a squad that has told him where he stands, and both sides start counting down to the next one.
