Viktor Kraev puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Etar, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market31 Aug 2026

Vihren come back empty-handed

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

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Etar

Kévin D'Almeida and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Etar rebuffed over Victory Beniangba

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Racing Genk have kept their man, and Etar go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Etar

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

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Borislav Vakadinov

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match29 Aug 2026

Sevlievo take the points off Etar

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Kévin D'Almeida

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kévin D'Almeida, and the manager let it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

13 new faces, and Etar are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match8 Aug 2026

A hiding for Etar

Beaten 0‑3 by Belasitsa, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Borislav Vakadinov would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Borislav Vakadinov is living that version at Etar, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Etar

Velislav Boev 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Simeon Chatov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Simeon Chatov and Etar agree another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Etar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Borislav Vakadinov 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.

Zdravko Delev steps up from the Etar academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Zdravko Delev has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Etar promote Martin Bodurov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Martin Bodurov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Stefan Yankov joins the Etar first team

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