Nobody could get near Arnór Sigurðsson

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A move Juan Moreno would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Juan Moreno is living that version at Malmo FF, and it tends to show in the first month.

Robin Olsen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Robin Olsen and Malmo FF agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Malmo FF

Pontus Jansson 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

Malmo FF sign Juan Moreno with one eye on the future

Nobody at the club will say out loud who this signing is for, which is how you know exactly who it is for. Juan Moreno has been brought in to take a shirt somebody is still wearing.

Words at Malmo FF training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anders Christiansen 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.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Malmo FF agree a free transfer for Miro Tenho

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Match8 Aug 2026

Malmo FF see off IFK Norrkoping

Three points for Malmo FF, 1‑0 the final word against IFK Norrkoping in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Erik Botheim was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.17. 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

10 seasons of Anders Christiansen

349 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Malmo FF know what they have.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Pontus Jansson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Pontus Jansson and Malmo FF agree another 2 years.

Erik Botheim 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Pontus Jansson 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 Malmo FF this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Anders Christiansen falls out with a teammate over standards

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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Arnór Sigurðsson’s goal not enough for Malmo FF

Arnór Sigurðsson scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to AIK, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.
