The Cacereño Chronicle
Boardroom18 Sep 2028
Cacereño give the job to Interim Coach
The club looked outside for a month, found nothing it preferred, and handed the job to the man who had been doing it anyway. He knows the building; now he has to prove he knows the rest.
Match16 Sep 2028
A hiding for Cacereño
Beaten 0‑3 by Ponferradina, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.
Squad18 Sep 2028
A one-man rearguard from Diego Nieves
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

A row about effort at Cacereño
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Wilfrid Kaptoum was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Squad18 Sep 2028
Miguel Berlanga 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 Cacereño this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The dugout18 Sep 2028
Emi 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.
Boardroom18 Sep 2028
Doors closed at Cacereño
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Interim Coach: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Cacereño pick somebody else ahead of Izei Herrera
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
