Hussayn Touati was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 37. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match16 Sep 2026

FC Metz through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Nimes, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

A brace, and Habib Diallo takes the afternoon — 9.01

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Habib Diallo provided it, and the 9.01 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Jonathan Fischer keeps FC Metz in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Giorgi Kvilitaia in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Metz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Habib Diallo 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

Habib Diallo the difference as FC Metz beat Olympique Lyonnais

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Habib Diallo. 2‑1 against Olympique Lyonnais, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

FC Metz supporters have found a favourite in Mathis Holo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 17-year-old it feels ownership of. Mathis Holo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Cristian Devenish 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.

Giorgi Abuashvili was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Too dear: FC Metz walk away from Kelvin Amian

$2.3M was the most the club would pay and FC Nantes were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market31 Aug 2026

FC Metz sign Samuel Nibombé, one for the future

Samuel Nibombé is 19, and FC Metz have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Match29 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for FC Metz against Angers SCO

0‑2 to Angers SCO, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market31 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois join the queue for Cléo Mélières

Add another name to the list: Stade Lavallois have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Cléo Mélières. The answer from FC Metz has not changed — yet.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A row about effort at FC Metz

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

The dugout31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Florian Miguel

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

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at FC Metz

15 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.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Henri Renard to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
