“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Dnepr Mogilev can pretend not to have heard.
Squad7 Dec 2026
Egor Karpitskiy 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.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Timofey Tkachev commits to Dnepr Mogilev for another 4 years.

Boardroom30 Nov 2026
Promotion, confirmed and mathematical, and a town that will not sleep much tonight. Whatever else this season had in it, it ends a division higher than it began.
Market30 Nov 2026
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Vadim Afanasjev will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dnepr Mogilev the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Squad30 Nov 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Dnepr Mogilev this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Dnepr Mogilev may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Alexey Yazepov has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Dnepr Mogilev they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Tempers go at Lida
Pavel Klenje 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.
Boardroom2 Nov 2026
165% of the income goes out in wages at Lida
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.
Squad2 Nov 2026
“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.
Market2 Nov 2026
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Lida will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

“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.
Market19 Oct 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dnepr Mogilev is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Fedor Yurkevich 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.

Marked 8.45 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Successful dribbles: 6. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Market14 Sep 2026
Dnepr Mogilev spent the window trying to move Vadim Afanasjev on and nobody came. He trains with a squad that has already told him he is not part of it, and both sides now wait for the next one.

Dinamo Brest are out and Lida go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Defensive actions: 21. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Osipovichi pay $27.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
