Market25 Jan 2027

Aleksa Latković puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at NK Varazdin, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tempers go at NK Varazdin

Mitchel Bakker 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 targets25 Jan 2027

Slaven Belupo tell NK Varazdin: Ivan Čović 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 dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Mario Marina

“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.

Market25 Jan 2027

The Aleksa Latković talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. NK Varazdin know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Loan watch25 Jan 2027

The goals keep arriving from Rüfət Abdullazadə’s exile

6 goals in 22 games at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at NK Varazdin updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Luka Škaričić gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Luka Škaričić is on it.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Isaac Smith still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at NK Varazdin would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

A door opens for David Puclin

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Luka Posinković keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” NK Varazdin may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A falling-out at NK Varazdin

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

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Tomislav Duvnjak 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.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Tomislav Duvnjak has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and NK Varazdin will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

A promise honoured for Novak Tepšić

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. NK Varazdin told Novak Tepšić something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Ivan Mamut knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at NK Varazdin, and both men came out saying it was fine.
