The NK Varazdin Chronicle

Terms done: Vito Težak is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Jadran Luka Ploce waiting with a shirt. Nobody at NK Varazdin is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Roko Domjanić is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at NK Varazdin is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Match22 Jul 2028
The wait goes on for NK Varazdin
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

5 academy graduates step up at NK Varazdin
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

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

Daniel Pjaca steps up from the NK Varazdin academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Pjaca 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.

One of our own: Milan Kasalo joins the NK Varazdin first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Milan Kasalo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

A promise the NK Varazdin board did not keep
There was a commitment, there was a date, and the date went past. Trust at a football club takes years to build and one afternoon to spend.
In brief
- Squad NK Varazdin are still strangers to each other
- Player ratings The afternoon belonged to Stipe Jurić
