From our football correspondent Steady

Squad12 Oct 2026

Jug Stanojev signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jug Stanojev and Universitatea Cluj agree another 4 years.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Dan Nistor 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 Universitatea Cluj this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Universitatea Cluj

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dino Mikanović was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad12 Oct 2026

5 new faces, and Universitatea Cluj are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Dorin Codrea

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

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Luka Kukić faces his old club

Botosani next, and one man in the Universitatea Cluj dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Jonathan Cissé knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Universitatea Cluj, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Alessandro Murgia has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Alessandro Murgia has written the date down.

Market12 Oct 2026

Jovo Lukić linked with a move away

The name of Jovo Lukić keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Universitatea Cluj say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Door shut on Leonel Pérez

Universitatea Cluj asked and Grêmio said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Universitatea Cluj against Oțelul Galați

0‑1 to Oțelul Galați, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Universitatea Cluj training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jug Stanojev 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Jug Stanojev

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market14 Sep 2026

Universitatea Cluj and Luka Kukić 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Universitatea Cluj

Miguel Silva and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Ianis Keseru to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Luka Kukić knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Universitatea Cluj, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Dorin Codrea

“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.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match1 Aug 2026

No mercy from Universitatea Cluj

FK Csíkszereda will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Universitatea Cluj were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A day Jovo Lukić will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Mouhamadou Drammeh pops up at the right end — 7.97

7.97, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Market3 Aug 2026

Universitatea Cluj turn down Oțelul Galați for Jovo Lukić

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

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Luka Kukić due for a Universitatea Cluj medical

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

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Jovo Lukić

Marked 10.00 — 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Universitatea Cluj settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. FK Csíkszereda spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Universitatea Cluj training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jug Stanojev 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.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

One of those days for Issouf Macalou

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.24, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
