Squad27 Mar 2028

Danail Grudev breaks a bone — 20 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 20 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Chernomorets Burgas

Georgi Tartov 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.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Words at Chernomorets Burgas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dimitar Kostadinov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Yaya Dramé 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.

Market27 Mar 2028

The Georgi Tartov talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Chernomorets Burgas know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market27 Mar 2028

The shop window has Zak Paulo Piplica in it

Chernomorets Burgas have let the market know Zak Paulo Piplica can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad20 Mar 2028

28 days out for Danail Grudev after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chernomorets Burgas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market20 Mar 2028

Correia asks to leave Chernomorets Burgas

“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.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Bistra Nedelev: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Chernomorets Burgas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Words exchanged at Chernomorets Burgas

Georgi Tartov 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.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Words at Chernomorets Burgas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dimitar Kostadinov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Dimitar Avramov

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

35 days out for Danail Grudev after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chernomorets Burgas will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

A falling-out at Chernomorets Burgas

Georgi Tartov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Bruno Miguel is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Bernardo Antunes 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 dugout13 Mar 2028

Dimitar Avramov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Chernomorets Burgas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The terraces6 Mar 2028

Supporters organise against the Chernomorets Burgas board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Match6 Mar 2028

Chernomorets Burgas are in real trouble now

Position 16, 6 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad6 Mar 2028

A fracture rules Danail Grudev out for 42 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chernomorets Burgas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

Zak Paulo Piplica frozen out at Chernomorets Burgas

This is not rotation. Zak Paulo Piplica has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Chernomorets Burgas is pretending otherwise.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Dimitar Kostadinov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad6 Mar 2028

A falling-out at Chernomorets Burgas

Simeon Chatov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Correia

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

Squad6 Mar 2028

Martin Trifonov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Martin Trifonov commits to Chernomorets Burgas for another 3 years.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

Simeon Chatov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Chernomorets Burgas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

31 matches without a win for Chernomorets Burgas

The run now stands at 31, and the questions being asked around Chernomorets Burgas are no longer polite ones.

Match28 Feb 2028

The season ends: position 16 for Chernomorets Burgas

The last league game has been played and the table has stopped moving: 6 points. The summer begins on Monday, and so does the argument about what it all meant.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Danail Grudev breaks a bone — 50 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 50 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Zhulian Ivanov’s goal not enough for Chernomorets Burgas

Zhulian Ivanov scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Pirin Blagoevgrad, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad28 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Chernomorets Burgas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dimitar Kostadinov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Deyan Stoyanov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

Dragomir Nikolov 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 dugout28 Feb 2028

Correia asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
