Match3 Jun 2028

Still nobody has beaten Dila

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match3 Jun 2028

Dila find a way past Dinamo Tbilisi

Dinamo Tbilisi made Dila work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Davit Kereselidze 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.

Market5 Jun 2028

Kolkheti watching Lekso Otinashvili

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Dila have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Boardroom5 Jun 2028

$1.7M on the table at Dila

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Market5 Jun 2028

Yilber Aponzá told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Yilber Aponzá has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Dila.

Market5 Jun 2028

Davit Kereselidze linked with a move away

The name of Davit Kereselidze keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Dila say nothing, which says plenty.

Loan watch5 Jun 2028

5 goals on loan for Javohir Esonqulov

13 appearances at Giresunspor and the goals keep coming. Dila are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Market5 Jun 2028

Dila put Diego Otoya up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Diego Otoya may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Match22 Apr 2028

Dila get the job done against Sioni

A 1-0 win over Sioni, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad24 Apr 2028

The manager makes an example of Yegor Guziev

“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.

Market24 Apr 2028

The Tiziano Pagani talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Dila know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad24 Apr 2028

The shirt belongs to Ramaric Etou now

At 33 he has made the position his own, and the man he took it from has to find something to say about it. Dila have a decision that made itself.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Davit Gotsiridze 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.

Squad24 Apr 2028

León Astrada unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — León Astrada has let it be known that he does not like the way Dila are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Lekso Otinashvili has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Dila they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market14 Feb 2028

Davit Gotsiridze’s move to Dinamo Batumi falls through

The deal that would have taken Davit Gotsiridze to Dinamo Batumi has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Dila with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Match7 Feb 2028

Dila up to position 1

67 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad7 Feb 2028

At 20, Alioune Tall is already the best thing here

An average of 7.15 in a first team he is several years too young for. Dila have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Market7 Feb 2028

Davit Gotsiridze attracts admirers

The name of Davit Gotsiridze has come up in conversations Dila were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Dila release $1.5M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Market7 Feb 2028

Tskhinvali expected to open talks for Lekso Otinashvili

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Dila will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market7 Feb 2028

A long bet from Dila on León Astrada

He is 18, and nobody at Dila signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
