Squad

Jan Koutný keeps Sigma Olomouc in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 14 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Sigma Olomouc say no — this time

The offer from Banik Ostrava for Tomáš Digaňa was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Péter Baráth stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Péter Baráth and Sigma Olomouc agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Sigma Olomouc bid $160.0K for Štěpán Langer

The offer went to Zbrojovka Brno this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at Sigma Olomouc

Péter Baráth 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Sigma Olomouc

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

Match

Sigma Olomouc come up short against Slavia Prague

Slavia Prague left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Abubakar Ghali 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.

Market

One of our own: Jan Coufal joins the Sigma Olomouc first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jan Coufal is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
