Market

Denny Tiganj has said yes to NK Krka

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Koper have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match

Whatever happens, Koper do not lose

9 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

The dugout

Brendi Malaj keeps the receipts

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

Transfer targets

No thanks: Tanej Handanovič rejects the move

Koper had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at NK Domzale, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Words exchanged at Koper

Luka Poredoš 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.

8 academy graduates step up at Koper

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.

Squad

Words at Koper training over how hard people work

Transfer targets

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Veljko Mijailović told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Veljko Mijailović has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Koper.

In brief
