A falling-out at Sabail

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

Squad25 Sep 2028

Mustapha Yakubu wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Sabail know it.

Match23 Sep 2028

3 matches without a goal for Sabail

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match23 Sep 2028

Gabala take the points off Sabail

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout25 Sep 2028

Salim Hashimov 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.

Squad25 Sep 2028

A row about effort at Sabail

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

The dugout25 Sep 2028

Qara Ismayilov answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad25 Sep 2028

Gaetano Molignano signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gaetano Molignano commits to Sabail for another 3 years.

The dugout25 Sep 2028

Braga 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 Sabail, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout18 Sep 2028

Salim Hashimov: 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.” Sabail have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market18 Sep 2028

Only the photograph left for Artem Mamin

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Artem Mamin will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sabail the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market18 Sep 2028

Francisco Olivares 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 Sabail, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Artem Mamin 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 Sabail this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Gaetano Molignano arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Gaetano Molignano has, at Sabail, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Boardroom18 Sep 2028

The numbers do not look good at Sabail

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Match16 Sep 2028

A bad afternoon for Sabail against Araz-Nakhchivan

0‑2 to Araz-Nakhchivan, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout18 Sep 2028

Braga gets it from the manager
