Norbert Strelec asks to leave FK Senica
“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.

The goals keep arriving from Mario Bonaventura’s exile
18 goals in 20 games at Botev Vratsa — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at FK Senica updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Samuel Nemec signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Samuel Nemec commits to FK Senica for another 3 years.

The David Bozenik talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. FK Senica know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
In brief
- The dugout Kristian Valjent knocks on the manager's door

- Market Matej Skriniar leaves for nothing
