A falling-out at Slaven Belupo
Filip Uremovic and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Marko Dabro out for 14 days
The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Marko Dabro, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
The dugout12 Apr 2027
The manager makes an example of Itsuki Urata
“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.

Vid Peša signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vid Peša commits to Slaven Belupo for another 4 years.
Loan watch12 Apr 2027
Ivan Cvetko has seen enough of Jarun Zagreb
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Slaven Belupo, and 0 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.
Loan watch12 Apr 2027
The goals keep arriving from Marko Žuljević’s exile
9 goals in 21 games at Karlovac 1919 — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Slaven Belupo updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

When it matters, Filip Jović plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
The dugout12 Apr 2027
Marko Dabro 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 Slaven Belupo, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Market12 Apr 2027
The Ilija Nestorovski talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Slaven Belupo know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
