Squad12 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Amkar

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

Market12 Oct 2026

Denis Chushjalov is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Amkar has been clear about where Denis Chushjalov stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Lev Tolkachev

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

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Kirill Popov faces his old club

Krylya Sovetov 2 next, and one man in the Amkar dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Denis Chushjalov 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 Amkar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Georgy Sanakoev has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Georgy Sanakoev has written the date down.

Market12 Oct 2026

The shop window has Lev Maltsev in it

Amkar have let the market know Lev Maltsev can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market12 Oct 2026

Lev Maltsev linked with a move away

The name of Lev Maltsev keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Amkar say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad12 Oct 2026

The penny has dropped for Kirill Burykin

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at Amkar the difference is visible from the back of the stand.

Boardroom14 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 12 in, 1 out at Amkar

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 12 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market14 Sep 2026

Neftyanik come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Amkar did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Alexandr Stenyakin turns down Amkar

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Rodina keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market14 Sep 2026

Lev Maltsev’s move to Kolomna falls through

The deal that would have taken Lev Maltsev to Kolomna has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Amkar with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Amkar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Daniil Agureev 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

Amkar get the job done against Orenburg 2

A 2‑1 win over Orenburg 2, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

One of those days for Daniil Agureev

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.11, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Artem Karimov kept it short after the 2‑1 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Aleksa Stanisavljevic

“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.

Market7 Sep 2026

Denis Chushjalov asks to leave Amkar

“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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Amkar

Grigory Zhilkin 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 targets7 Sep 2026

Amkar rebuffed over Yegor Skorobogatko

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Avangard have kept their man, and Amkar go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Daniil Agureev 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Vladislav Ignatenko is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Vladislav Ignatenko has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Alexandr Dolgov makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market7 Sep 2026

No place for Alex Matsukatov in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Alex Matsukatov has his answer from Amkar; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Lev Maltsev conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Kolomna will make the call about Lev Maltsev this week. Amkar have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Lev Tolkachev

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

Match19 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Amkar

0‑1 against Dinamo Vladivostok, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match22 Aug 2026

Amkar run riot against Ural 2

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Artem Kotik scores twice — 8.39

Two goals and a mark of 8.39 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Lev Maltsev asks to leave Amkar

“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.

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Amkar

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Daniil Agureev was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Alexandr Dolgov was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.29. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Amkar ask about Yegor Skorobogatko

A loan enquiry to Avangard: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Artem Karimov: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑0, already talking about the next one.
