Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
Made meaningful progress with the local language

Poor attitude in training
Minor
Cause
Coaches flagged his application as the issue.
Promised more playing time by the manager
Serious
Cause
The discussion focused on playing time.
Praised privately for his recent performance
Major
Cause

Manager broke a promise
Major
Cause
Even an honest tone was resented given the strained relationship.
Asked the manager for a private conversation
Moderate
Cause
He has unresolved concerns over his contract. His relationship with the manager is steady but tense. He has already raised this with the manager recently.
Outlook
Contract request risk increased.
Returned to full training after injury
Moderate
Cause
The medical team cleared him, but the staff are protecting him from a rushed comeback.
The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
Outlook
Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
