From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Csaba Szatmári puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Diosgyor, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Paksi join the queue for Máté Sajbán

Add another name to the list: Paksi have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Máté Sajbán. The answer from Diosgyor has not changed — yet.

Squad

Tempers go at Diosgyor

Marco Lund 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Csaba Szatmári

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

Market

No place for Gergő Holdampf in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Gergő Holdampf has his answer from Diosgyor; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad

Lamin Colley 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.

Player ratings

Andy Polar runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

5 matches without a win for Diosgyor

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Diosgyor are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Álex Vallejo shuts the door

Defensive actions: 23, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Ádin Molnár 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.

Player ratings

Marco Lund stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.83 on the card, and the Diosgyor support went home talking about one name.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Bence Babos says Diosgyor 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Diosgyor

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Ivan Šaponjić

Marked 8.01 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

David Lemos runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Diosgyor

Andy Polar 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Marco Lund

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.23, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom

209% of the income goes out in wages at Diosgyor

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Match

Marco Lund sends Diosgyor past Bekescsaba

It finished 1‑0, and it was Marco Lund’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Diosgyor.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Lirim Kastrati

Marked 8.00 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Ákos Kecskés

Defensive actions: 16. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

No hiding place for Gergő Holdampf

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

Squad

The armband comes off Bence Bárdos

Diosgyor will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Diosgyor sink to position 10

11 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

7 matches without a win for Diosgyor

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Diosgyor are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Diosgyor

Ákos Kecskés 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.

Match

Diosgyor come up short against Ferencvaros

Ferencvaros left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of David Lemos

“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.

Player ratings

Andy Polar runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Marco Lund in the eights

A performance of 8.48 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Diosgyor count the cost of losing Bence Bodnár

54 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Marco Lund is off the mark for Diosgyor

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

5 matches without a win for Diosgyor

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Diosgyor are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near David Lemos

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Diosgyor

Ákos Kecskés 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.

Match

Diosgyor come up short against Fehervar

Fehervar left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom

332% of the income goes out in wages at Diosgyor

From our football correspondent Steady

Match

Diosgyor are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 11 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match

8 unbeaten for Diosgyor

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Diosgyor did not have in the autumn.

Player ratings

Andy Polar runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Ákos Kecskés 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 Diosgyor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Diosgyor lose Jefferson Araújo

127 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Csaba Szatmári shuts the door

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

No hiding place for Lamin Colley

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

Player ratings

Yohan Croizet-Kollár stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.45 on the card, and the Diosgyor support went home talking about one name.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Marco Lund

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 14 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Máté Sajbán 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 Diosgyor can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Andy Polar runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Anderson Esiti

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 26 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market

Diosgyor sell Ante Roguljić for $890.0K

Ante Roguljić has left for Vasas in a $890.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Ákos Kecskés

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 23 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Tempers go at Diosgyor

Marco Lund 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.

Player ratings

Marco Lund shuts the door

Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

Lamin Colley sends Diosgyor past Puskas Akademia

It finished 1‑0, and it was Lamin Colley’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Diosgyor.

Market

Still no ink between Diosgyor and Bogdán Bánhegyi

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Diosgyor, another week without a signature from Bogdán Bánhegyi.

In brief

1 Edition

The Diosgyor Courier

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Ante Roguljić asks to leave Diosgyor

“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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Bogdán Bánhegyi

There were 8 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.

Squad

Yohan Croizet-Kollár stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Yohan Croizet-Kollár and Diosgyor agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Marco Lund 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 Diosgyor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Diosgyor and Álex Vallejo are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

Nobody at Diosgyor has picked up the phone to Anderson Esiti

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Match

Honours even between Diosgyor and Ferencvaros

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Ante Roguljić 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.

Market

Szilárd Bokros is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Diosgyor has been clear about where Szilárd Bokros stands, which is more than many ever get.

In brief
