Market9 Aug 2027

Shunto Kanda 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 The request is on a desk at Gandzasar, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Patvakan Avetisyan: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Gandzasar have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets9 Aug 2027

Allef will not be coming to Gandzasar

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Van is saying, and nobody at Gandzasar is enjoying the guessing.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Gandzasar

João Nóbrega 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Gevorg Tarakhchyan 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Petros Hovhannisyan

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Gandzasar will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad26 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Gandzasar

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

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words at Gandzasar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Asion Daja 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 dugout26 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Nazar Makeev

“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.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Gevorg Tarakhchyan 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 Gandzasar know which stage they are at.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

Arsen Galstyan 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 Gandzasar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Player ratings24 May 2027

Both of them Bertrand Mani's — 9.12

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.12, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match22 May 2027

The wait goes on for Gandzasar

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad24 May 2027

Words exchanged at Gandzasar

João Nóbrega 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.

Match22 May 2027

Gandzasar are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 5 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Match22 May 2027

Bertrand Mani’s goal not enough for Gandzasar

Bertrand Mani scored, and precious little else went right: 3‑4 to Shirak, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Match22 May 2027

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Gandzasar and Shirak in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad24 May 2027

A row about effort at Gandzasar

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

Player ratings24 May 2027

Artem Avanesyan in the eights

A performance of 8.10 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout24 May 2027

No hiding place for Taron Voskanyan

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

Zé Bruno signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Zé Bruno commits to Gandzasar for another 3 years.
