Squad15 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Zadar

Robin Gonzalez 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.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A muscle injury sidelines Marcelo Kasalo for 16 days

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

Luka Erceg wants to come home

“I did not go to Dugopolje to sit and watch. I want to come back to Zadar and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 25 matches say the rest.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Hrvoje Vukas runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 52. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Boris Modric

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zadar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match19 Aug 2026

Zadar through in the cup

A 4‑0 win over Imotski, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad24 Aug 2026

3 goals for Marco Perisic

The match ball belongs to Marco Perisic, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A debut Marcelo Horvat will not forget — 7.86

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.86 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Filippo Calabrese at 20 — 8.31

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Filippo Calabrese did not need any: 8.31, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match22 Aug 2026

Zadar cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Market24 Aug 2026

Dinamo Brest come back empty-handed

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

Market24 Aug 2026

Josip Cop 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 Zadar can pretend not to have heard.
