Mihkel Kait breaks a bone — 15 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Words at Tulevik training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mal Januzi 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.

Rainer Peips 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 Tulevik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market1 Feb 2027
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Tulevik people have started saying his name in the past tense.

“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 The request is on a desk at Tulevik, and it is not being withdrawn.
Boardroom1 Feb 2027
Tulevik close the window on a squad of their own making
1 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Transfer targets1 Feb 2027
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Squad1 Feb 2027
Mal Januzi 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.
Market1 Feb 2027
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Tulevik have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
Transfer targets1 Feb 2027
Sillamae Kalev have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
Squad1 Feb 2027
“I will play as long as the body lets me and stop the day it does not.” He is 36, with 189 appearances behind him, and the club has to plan for a decision that is not yet made.
Squad1 Feb 2027
A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Tulevik would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

A falling-out at Tulevik
Rauno Igonen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The dugout21 Dec 2026
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Tulevik, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Questions about Raimond Mets on the training pitch
The standards have slipped, and in a building where everybody watches everybody it has not gone unremarked. This is how a player loses a place before he loses one.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Robin Murulaid and Tulevik agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Market14 Dec 2026
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Hendrik Sappinen is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

A stepping stone, not a home, for Mal Januzi
He is doing his job and he is not settling. Tulevik were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Raimond Mets 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 dugout14 Dec 2026
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
The dugout14 Dec 2026
Robin Murulaid knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Robin Murulaid trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Market14 Dec 2026
The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Mal Januzi arrives at Tulevik with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.
Squad14 Dec 2026
A season on the outside for Mal Januzi
He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Tulevik has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

A row about effort at Tulevik
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rasmus Luhakooder was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Karol Sappinen
“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.
Market28 Sep 2026
Tulevik have let the market know Rasmus Luhakooder can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
Squad28 Sep 2026
He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at Tulevik the difference is visible from the back of the stand.

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Flora keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Tulevik asked and Flora said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nikita Sorga has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

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