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.
In brief
- Squad A place in the month's best eleven for Jovan Ćirić
- The dugout Beryly Lubala knocks on the manager’s door
- Squad The armband comes off Dušan Jovančić
