10 saves: Nacho Miras was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match26 Aug 2026

Cup progress for KV Mechelen

A 2‑0 win over OH Leuven, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market31 Aug 2026

KV Mechelen say no — this time

The offer from Waasland-Beveren for Myron van Brederode was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Myron van Brederode beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 28. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market31 Aug 2026

Ortwin De Wolf 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 KV Mechelen can pretend not to have heard.

No sign of nerves from Halil Özdemir at 21 — 8.11

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Halil Özdemir did not need any: 8.11, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Age has not caught Benjamin Santelli yet — 7.93

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.93 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

A defender's goal wins it for KV Mechelen — 7.76

1 for Fredrik Hammar, marked 7.76, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Market31 Aug 2026

Business is business: Thérence Koudou goes

Anderlecht paid $2.6M and KV Mechelen took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Ortwin De Wolf keeps KV Mechelen in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market10 Aug 2026

KV Mechelen turn down KAA Gent for Ortwin De Wolf

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Rayane Bounida due for a KV Mechelen medical

Everything agreed with Ajax, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Benjamin Bouchouari turns down KV Mechelen

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Trabzonspor keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Mike Eerdhuijzen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mike Eerdhuijzen commits to KV Mechelen for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at KV Mechelen

Samuel Gigot 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Eyes on Massimo Decoene again

The phone has started ringing about Massimo Decoene again, and this time the name on the line is Club Brugge. KV Mechelen are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match8 Aug 2026

Charleroi take the points off KV Mechelen

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at KV Mechelen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolas Isimat-Mirin is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
