Nobody could get near Kiril Korkh

Successful dribbles: 43. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match3 Oct 2026

10 matches without a win for Strogino

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Strogino are no longer polite ones.

Match5 Oct 2026

Strogino sink to position 14

3 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market5 Oct 2026

Mikhail Mikaelyan asks to leave Strogino

“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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Denis Dragan: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Strogino have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Kiril Korkh 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.

Strogino supporters have found a favourite in Jean Sales

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Jean Sales has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Tempers go at Strogino

Valery Ozerov 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

12 new faces, and Strogino are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The Strogino Post

10 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market10 Aug 2026

Nikita Perinskiy hands in a written request

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

Nobody could get near Vagan Manukyan

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Ramil Khuranov 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 Strogino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sevastopol join the queue for Alexey Muldarov

Add another name to the list: Sevastopol have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Alexey Muldarov. The answer from Strogino has not changed — yet.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Fedor Starostin

At 18 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Denis Dragan dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Denis Dragan 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 Denis Dragan trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Match8 Aug 2026

No goals between Strogino and Rotor 2

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Rotor 2 will be the happier side with the point.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The plan did not have a place for Nikita Bogatikov

Nobody at Strogino is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.
