The Haladas Chronicle
Squad9 Nov 2026
Dominik Sallai keeps Haladas in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 13 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match7 Nov 2026
Haladas beaten on the continent
0‑2 against Osasuna, and an evening that measured the gap rather than the ninety minutes. Nothing about it was a disgrace and nothing about it was close.
Match7 Nov 2026
No end in sight to Haladas's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Haladas has to find a result from somewhere.

Adriano De Simone was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 22. 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.

Tempers go at Haladas
Danilo Mitrović 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.
Match7 Nov 2026
Haladas cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Radojević 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.

The team sheet said everything about Barna Kesztyűs
Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Barna Kesztyűs.

Bence Nagy: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
In brief
- Market Attila Fiola is free to find somewhere else
- The dugout Haladas pick somebody else ahead of Vladyslav Shapoval
- The dugout Krisztián Tamás has become a man the manager trusts
