The Napredak Courier

Stefan Bukorac damages knee ligaments — 70 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 70 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Match24 Jul 2027
No end in sight to Napredak's wait for a win
8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Napredak has to find a result from somewhere.
The dugout26 Jul 2027
Filip Krstić keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Napredak may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings26 Jul 2027
Miloš Vulić pops up at the right end — 7.81
7.81, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
Zois Karargyris will not be coming to Napredak
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at AEK is saying, and nobody at Napredak is enjoying the guessing.
Boardroom26 Jul 2027
5 academy players handed senior numbers at Napredak
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
Transfer targets26 Jul 2027
Napredak rebuffed over Charlie Setford
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ajax have kept their man, and Napredak go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Squad26 Jul 2027
Vladimir Petrović 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 Napredak this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match24 Jul 2027
Miloš Vulić’s goal not enough for Napredak
Miloš Vulić scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Spartak Subotica, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.
