Match9 Sep 2028

The wait goes on for Imotski

18 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market11 Sep 2028

Santiago García asks to leave Imotski

“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.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Léon Pöhls keeps Imotski in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Nicolás Castagno signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nicolás Castagno commits to Imotski for another 3 years.

Match9 Sep 2028

4 matches without a goal for Imotski

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Noa Mikić 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 Imotski this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Words at Imotski training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dragan Lovrić 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.

Match9 Sep 2028

A bad afternoon for Imotski against Lucko

0‑1 to Lucko, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings11 Sep 2028

Ante Ljubičić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Šime Žužul 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 Imotski this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Mate Šuto 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.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Léon Pöhls damages knee ligaments — 82 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 82 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad6 Mar 2028

A fracture rules Ivan Todorić out for 73 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Imotski will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The terraces6 Mar 2028

Anger at Imotski spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom6 Mar 2028

Pressure builds in the Imotski boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market6 Mar 2028

Manuel Pagano 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 Imotski can pretend not to have heard.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Santiago García stays put

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