Marked for Daniel Botka

20 Edition

The Diosgyor Courier

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad14 Dec 2026

Ákos Kecskés stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ákos Kecskés and Diosgyor agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match12 Dec 2026

Lamin Colley the difference as Diosgyor beat Debrecen

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Lamin Colley. 1‑0 against Debrecen, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Diosgyor lose Daniel Botka

46 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Lamin Colley takes the honours

Marked 7.71 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Diosgyor had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Attila Szalai: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Zétény Varga

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

Looking ahead14 Dec 2026

A test against the best for Diosgyor

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Ujpest.

Looking ahead14 Dec 2026

Yohan Croizet-Kollár faces his old club

Ujpest next, and one man in the Diosgyor dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market14 Dec 2026

Ante Roguljić linked with a move away

The name of Ante Roguljić keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Diosgyor say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad12 Oct 2026

Márk Tamás 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 Diosgyor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch12 Oct 2026

Gábor Megyeri has seen enough of Kazincbarcika

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Diosgyor, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Peter Ambrose 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.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Zétény Varga plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Máté Sajbán goes back to face Paksi

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Máté Sajbán’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Diosgyor needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Ágoston Bényei knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ágoston Bényei trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $760.0K for Joel Fameyeh

Diosgyor have gone to Puskas Akademia 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.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Diosgyor go back to the board over Pál Helmich

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $471.5K — a club that wants Pál Helmich enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Too dear: Diosgyor walk away from Pál Helmich

$440.0K was the most the club would pay and Ujpest were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Diosgyor

Anderson Esiti 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

MTK Budapest take the points off Diosgyor

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Istvan Gazdag joins the Diosgyor first team

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Peter Botka steps up from the Diosgyor academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Peter Botka 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Diosgyor promote Roland Lang from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Roland Lang 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.

Daniel Botka steps up from the Diosgyor academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Botka 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.
