The Zadar Gazette
Market26 Jul 2027
Ivica Juranovic 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.
The dugout26 Jul 2027
Hrvoje Petkov says Zadar went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
An offer of $46.0K for Petar Nemet
Zadar have gone to Istra 1961 with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
Zadar make their move for Josip Bralić
$10.0K on the table at Rudes. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Boardroom26 Jul 2027

A row about effort at Zadar
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kristijan Colak was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
Zadar rebuffed over Leonardo Draguzet
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. HNK Rijeka have kept their man, and Zadar go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Words exchanged at Zadar
Dino Vukas 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.
Match24 Jul 2027
Istra 1961 take the points off Zadar
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
