Boardroom

Dubočica part company with Bogdan Babic

The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

Boardroom

An empty coaching office at Dubočica

There is nobody left to promote and nobody left to run a session. The board have brought in a name the supporters do not know, and the question of how a club gets here will outlast whoever answers it.

Market

David Posch asks to leave Dubočica

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom

Interim Coach takes charge at Dubočica

“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

The dugout

Stelios Vallindras keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Dubočica may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Dubočica

Francis Etu 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.

Boardroom

6 academy graduates step up at Dubočica

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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Nikša Delibašić

Dubočica asked and TSC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Predrag Bogdanovic steps up from the Dubočica academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Predrag Bogdanovic 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.

In brief
