The Novi Pazar Courier
Market31 Aug 2026
Spartak Subotica come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Novi Pazar did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Luka Bijelović runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A bad afternoon for Novi Pazar against Mladost Lucani
2‑3 to Mladost Lucani, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
The dugout31 Aug 2026
Jovan Manev 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.

Fejsal Mulić was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.26. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Tempers go at Novi Pazar
Ivan Davidović 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.

Novi Pazar are still strangers to each other
10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.
The dugout31 Aug 2026
Petar Vlahovic answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 2‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
Looking ahead31 Aug 2026
A reunion for Tomislav Dadić
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Radnicki 1923 in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
In brief
- The dugout Mihajlo Petković does not fit this one
- The dugout Vieri Kotzebue gets picked when it counts
