The FCI Levadia Chronicle
Match3 Mar 2029
FCI Levadia taken apart
0‑3 to Narva Trans, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Bamba Susso hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FCI Levadia can pretend not to have heard.
The dugout5 Mar 2029
Abraham Nwankwo says FCI Levadia went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

The run at home goes on for FCI Levadia
13 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Igor Carvalho stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Boardroom5 Mar 2029
FCI Levadia tie Karl Mets down
A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Tempers go at FCI Levadia
Bamba Susso 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.
Boardroom5 Mar 2029
5 academy graduates step up at FCI Levadia
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.

Home is on Emir Azemović's mind
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; FCI Levadia are dealing with a man who wants a different country.
