Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 19 in, 4 out at Mladost Lucani

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 19 arrived, 4 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Beryly Lubala

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Partizan deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Nemanja Petrović reports back to Mladost Lucani with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Vukašin Jovanović 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 Mladost Lucani this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Mladost Lucani rebuffed over Dyogo Alves

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Flamengo have kept their man, and Mladost Lucani go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match5 Sep 2026

Mladost Lucani come up short against TSC

TSC left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Vukašin Jovanović

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

A month that belonged to Jovan Ćirić

The young player of the month award goes to a 19-year-old at Mladost Lucani who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Branislav Nastasic left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Jovan Ćirić beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 34. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match19 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani out of the cup

Cukaricki ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market24 Aug 2026

Milan Joksimović asks to leave Mladost Lucani

“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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Vintage Petar Bojić — 7.80

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.80, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Mladost Lucani

Vukašin Jovanović 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Vukašin Jovanović shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani sell Nemanja Žunić for $260.0K

Nemanja Žunić has left for Partizan in a $260.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani rebuffed over Lúkas Petersson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. TSG Hoffenheim have kept their man, and Mladost Lucani go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani see off Spartak Subotica

Three points for Mladost Lucani, 2‑0 the final word against Spartak Subotica in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market17 Aug 2026

Terms done: Nemanja Žunić is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Partizan waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Mladost Lucani is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A brace, and Jovan Ćirić takes the afternoon — 8.31

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Jovan Ćirić provided it, and the 8.31 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ognjen Bondžulić, 19, steals the show — 7.68

Marked 7.68 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Panagiotis Tzimas due for a Mladost Lucani medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Mladost Lucani

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Braga tell Mladost Lucani: João Carvalho is not for sale

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.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Jovan Ćirić

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match15 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani rescue it on 94 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 94. OFK Beograd had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Match15 Aug 2026

Honours even between Mladost Lucani and OFK Beograd

3‑3, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Saša Stamenković keeps Mladost Lucani in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Jovan Ćirić, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.88

A mark of 7.88 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nikola Andrić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mladost Lucani

Vukašin Jovanović 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.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Door shut on Denys Tvardovskyi

Mladost Lucani asked and Shakhtar said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match8 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Mladost Lucani against Radnicki Nis

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

The dugout10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Veljko Kijevčanin

“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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mladost Lucani promote Dejan Sergej from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Dejan Sergej 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Branislav Petrovic joins the Mladost Lucani first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Branislav Petrovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
