Ayman Kari 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 Dijon can pretend not to have heard.

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

Udinese tell Dijon: Joel Pohjanpalo 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.

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Warren Cedille
The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Dijon will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Alexis Ntamack 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.

No place for Karim Zedadka in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Dijon are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

A promise honoured for Bryan Reynolds
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Dijon told Bryan Reynolds something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Too much change too quickly at Dijon
9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
Looking ahead11 Sep 2028
The leaders are next for Dijon
FC Nantes top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.
In brief
- The dugout Paul Delecroix has become a man the manager trusts
- The dugout Lucão knocks on the manager’s door
- Market Still no ink between Dijon and Anass Benyahya
