Filip Panić asks to leave ND Gorica
“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.

Rok Kidrič 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 ND Gorica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Mattia Chiesa 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.

The manager makes an example of Andrija Drljo
“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.

Filip Panić asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Adam Khan joins ND Gorica to strengthen the squad
Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and ND Gorica have gone and got theirs early.

The manager makes Tilen Vendramin a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at ND Gorica. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Somebody is after Mattia Chiesa’s shirt
A new face in his position, and Mattia Chiesa suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. ND Gorica have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
