Market

Only the photograph left for Aleksa Kuljanin

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Aleksa Kuljanin will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Zeleznicar Pancevo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Zoran Popović stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Zeleznicar Pancevo

Marko Ćurić 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.

Match

David Ankeye’s goal not enough for Zeleznicar Pancevo

David Ankeye scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Cukaricki, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Luka Vidić stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Luka Vidić and Zeleznicar Pancevo agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

No hiding place for Zoran Popović

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

Squad

Words at Zeleznicar Pancevo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simão Pedro 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.

The dugout

Ivan Matic faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Ivan Matic after 2‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Bojan Balaž

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom

Zeleznicar Pancevo spell it out for Ivan Matic

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Ivan Matic has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Market

Zeleznicar Pancevo say no — this time

The offer from Ujpest for Đorđe Glavinić was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

A falling-out at Zeleznicar Pancevo

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

Market

David Ivić comes back from a loan that worked

29 appearances and 7 goals away from here, and a player the manager did not have in August. Loans are sent out hoping for exactly this and most of them do not deliver it.

Transfer targets

Shakhtar tell Zeleznicar Pancevo: Ilir Krasniqi 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 dugout

Mirko Milikić gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Words at Zeleznicar Pancevo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Boubacar Diallo 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.

Market

Ušće are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Zeleznicar Pancevo will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market

Talks stall between Zeleznicar Pancevo and Mirko Milikić

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief

19 Edition

The Smederevo 1924 Gazette

7 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Uglješa Radinović

29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Smederevo 1924 lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Smederevo 1924

8 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match

5 matches without a win for Smederevo 1924

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Smederevo 1924 are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A falling-out at Smederevo 1924

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

Squad

Nikola Knežević 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.

Match

Smederevo 1924 come up short against Tekstilac Odžaci

Tekstilac Odžaci left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Milorad Kojić

“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.

The dugout

Sergej Bogdanovic faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Sergej Bogdanovic after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Božidar Blagojević

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Božidar Blagojević has come out of that comparison in the side, and Smederevo 1924 have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

In brief
