Market19 Oct 2026

Revaz Kiteishvili 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 Zugdidi can pretend not to have heard.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Zugdidi

Saba Arveladze and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Zugdidi count the cost of losing Aleksandre Chakvetadze

35 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Khvicha Qazaishvili 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.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Giorgi Kakabadze gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Giorgi Kakabadze is on it.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Archil Shengelia 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.

Market19 Oct 2026

Dato Kashia placed on the list

Zugdidi have made Dato Kashia available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

A door opens for Jaba Kashia

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The training reports on Saba Arveladze are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.

Market12 Oct 2026

Saba Arveladze asks to leave Zugdidi

“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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Giorgi Kakabadze stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Giorgi Kakabadze and Zugdidi agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Zugdidi

Saba Daraselia and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Zugdidi

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nika Daraselia was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Khvicha Qazaishvili

“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.

Loan watch12 Oct 2026

Zurab Tsitaishvili wants to come home

“I did not go to Sioni to sit and watch. I want to come back to Zugdidi and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Nika Daraselia asks to leave Zugdidi

“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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Saba Daraselia 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 Zugdidi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nika Daraselia 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A step back for Irakli Gamsakhurdia at Zugdidi

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Archil Shengelia has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Zugdidi will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Mikheil Kobiashvili is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.
