The Kavala Chronicle
Boardroom16 Oct 2028
The numbers do not look good at Kavala
Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

A falling-out at Kavala
Giorgos Stamoulis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Kavala
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Giorgos Manousakis was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The formation has left Dmitriy Matyash behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Kavala will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Wiktor Mamroł signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Wiktor Mamroł commits to Kavala for another 4 years.
Looking ahead16 Oct 2028
The leaders are next for Kavala
Niki Volos top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.
The dugout16 Oct 2028
A promise honoured for Kostas Voriazidis
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Kavala told Kostas Voriazidis something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
Looking ahead16 Oct 2028
A reunion for Christos Kountouriotis
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Niki Volos in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
The dugout16 Oct 2028
Yusri El Kandoussi 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 Yusri El Kandoussi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
In brief
- The dugout When it matters, Fabian Wojtal plays
- Market Giorgos Moustakopoulos placed on the list
- Market Kavala shop where it costs nothing
