Krystian Mucha: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Tyumen have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

A falling-out at Tyumen
Alexandr Bem and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Tyumen
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Vitaly Shitov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Boardroom28 Dec 2026
Wages swallow 368% of the Tyumen income
Every club 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 it has been tried.
The dugout28 Dec 2026
“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.

Vitaly Shitov gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Vitaly Shitov is on it.

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Tyumen, and both men came out saying it was fine.
The dugout14 Dec 2026
The manager has not finished forgetting Gleb Zakharov's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
Market14 Dec 2026
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Vitaly Shitov’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
Market14 Dec 2026
7 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Tyumen could get for him.
Loan watch14 Dec 2026
15 starts and an average of 6.74. He went there to play and he is playing, which is the only thing a loan was ever for.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Mikhail Petrov is not doing himself any favours
A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Nazar Kotov chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The cup run ends for Tyumen
0‑6 against Zenit, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
The terraces23 Nov 2026
A cup hiding at Zenit leaves Tyumen explaining themselves
0-6, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 5 of the 25 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Tyumen and Zenit in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Three points for Tyumen, 2‑1 the final word against Volgar in a contest settled by the finer margins.

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The manager makes an example of Vladlen Babaev

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Vladlen Babaev’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Tyumen needing him to play as if none of it matters.
Market16 Nov 2026
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Nikita Yanovich signs something — a contract at Tyumen or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
