Narek Petrosyan asks to leave Jesenice
“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 paperwork begins on Divine Igwe Ikenna
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Jesenice have done the hard part with Radomlje, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Kristiyan Velichkov comes home
The shirt still fits. Kristiyan Velichkov is back at Jesenice, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Tempers go at Jesenice
Rene Kogoi 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.

Door shut on Divine Igwe Ikenna
Jesenice asked and Radomlje said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

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.

A stepping stone, not a home, for Kristiyan Velichkov
He is doing his job and he is not settling. Jesenice were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

The decline has begun for Robert Bartolomeu
Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 33 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Jesenice is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

The manager makes an example of Maj Žigart
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Squad Kristiyan Velichkov is a square peg at Jesenice
- Transfer targets Jesenice try to borrow Luka Lukanić
- Market Borna Panić linked with a move away
