Dramane Traoré hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stade Malien can pretend not to have heard.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Koro Coulibaly 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 Stade Malien this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Koro Coulibaly 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.

Market31 Aug 2026

Djoliba join the queue for Mamady Condé

Add another name to the list: Djoliba have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mamady Condé. The answer from Stade Malien has not changed — yet.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Ramin Shojaei still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Stade Malien would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market31 Aug 2026

The Taddeus Nkeng story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Taddeus Nkeng signs something — a contract at Stade Malien or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Diadié Samadiaré hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stade Malien can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Stade Malien

Koro Coulibaly 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.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Mamoutou Berthé will join Stade Malien for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Mamoutou Berthé has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Stade Malien have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Abdoul Salam Dembélé 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.

Market24 Aug 2026

PWD Bamenda are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Stade Malien will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad24 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Ramin Shojaei

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Stade Malien will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Rah Ahan

Walter Montoya 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Sardar Shojaei

“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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Sepahan take the points off Rah Ahan

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Rah Ahan pick somebody else ahead of Reza Yazdani

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market17 Aug 2026

No place for Alireza Ebrahimi in the plan

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

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Reza Hajsafi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Pejman Ebrahimi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 40. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A muscle injury sidelines Pejman Ebrahimi for 15 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Rah Ahan will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Rah Ahan

Kaveh Vafaei 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Rah Ahan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Walter Montoya 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Majid Hajsafi

“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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Rah Ahan and Walter Montoya

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market10 Aug 2026

Saipa are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Rah Ahan will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Sardar Shojaei

A mark of 7.06, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Market10 Aug 2026

No place for Amir Karimi in the plan

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