Market10 May 2027

Gonzalo Pastor asks to leave Famalicao

“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.

Squad10 May 2027

A falling-out at Famalicao

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

Squad10 May 2027

Pedro Bondo 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.

The manager makes an example of Pedro Santos

“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.

Mathias De Amorim linked with a move away

The name of Mathias De Amorim keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Famalicao say nothing, which says plenty.

Market12 Apr 2027

Gonzalo Pastor hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Famalicao can pretend not to have heard.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Famalicao

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

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words at Famalicao training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sorriso 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.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Famalicao lose Enzo Barros

22 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Home is on Jacobo Escobar's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Famalicao are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Ivan Zlobin is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Famalicao has been clear about where Ivan Zlobin stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Hugo Oliveira

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

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Riccieli 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 Famalicao, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match16 Dec 2026

The cup run ends for Famalicao

0‑1 against Gil Vicente, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Giorgos Koutsias scores twice — 8.68

Two goals and a mark of 8.68 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Pedro Bondo goes up and wins it — 7.93

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.93 for the rest of it.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Famalicao

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

Match19 Dec 2026

A bad afternoon for Famalicao against Vitoria Guimaraes

3‑4 to Vitoria Guimaraes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match19 Dec 2026

Giorgos Koutsias among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Giorgos Koutsias on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Famalicao and Vitoria Guimaraes.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Sorriso 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.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Ninety minutes of Sorriso at his very best

Marked 8.34. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Famalicao.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Tom van de Looi

“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.

Match28 Oct 2026

Marcos Peña sends Famalicao through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Marcos Peña obliged against Portimonense. 6‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Famalicao.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Both of them Marcos Peña's — 8.46

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.46, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Bastien Meupiyou says Famalicao went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

No sign of nerves from Rudi Almeida at 21 — 8.29

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Rudi Almeida did not need any: 8.29, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Lazar Carević stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Famalicao

Lazar Carević 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.

Match28 Oct 2026

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 Famalicao and Portimonense in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match31 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Famalicao against Benfica

1‑2 to Benfica, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Loan watch2 Nov 2026

Ivan Zlobin has seen enough of Akhmat Grozny

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Famalicao, and 3 appearances in 11 say he has earned the hearing.
