Market19 Oct 2026

Ovidiu Iancu asks to leave Astra

“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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Stjepan Davidović keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Astra may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Ovidiu Hagi 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Astra

Mauro Aguirre 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.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Vlad Cicaldau runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Daniel Maxim signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniel Maxim and Astra agree another 4 years.

Market14 Sep 2026

Ovidiu Iancu wants more than Astra are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Astra

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Astra are no longer polite ones.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Astra training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ovidiu Hagi 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.

Tempers go at Astra

Daniel Maxim 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

Kevin Salazar rescues a point for Astra

It needed Kevin Salazar to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Pandurii, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Nicusor Hagi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nicusor Hagi, and the manager let it.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Kevin Salazar is off the mark for Astra

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Loan watch14 Sep 2026

The goals keep arriving from Rafael Xavier’s exile

5 goals in 5 games at Cibalia — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Astra updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Vlad Cicaldau runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match1 Aug 2026

Astra run riot against Viitorul

12‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad3 Aug 2026

4 goals for Ovidiu Iancu

The match ball belongs to Ovidiu Iancu, whose 4 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A debut Daniel Maxim will not forget — 8.28

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 8.28 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Market3 Aug 2026

Urawa Reds come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Astra did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Razvan Puscas scores twice — 8.33

Two goals and a mark of 8.33 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Both of them Arturo Cipriani's — 8.27

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.27, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A brace, and Nicusor Bancu takes the afternoon — 8.14

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Nicusor Bancu provided it, and the 8.14 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
