IMT say no — this time
The offer from Zeleznicar Pancevo for Stefan Bastaja 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.
Market7 Jun 2027
Kevin Cuneo 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 IMT can pretend not to have heard.
Squad7 Jun 2027
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at IMT this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Market7 Jun 2027
“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Moussa Sissako has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at IMT.
Market7 Jun 2027
The name of Kenroy Campbell has come up in conversations IMT were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
Squad7 Jun 2027
Stefan Šapić 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.

Match23 Jan 2027
7 matches without a win for IMT
The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around IMT are no longer polite ones.
Market25 Jan 2027
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Squad25 Jan 2027
A move Lenny Lankoso 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. Lenny Lankoso is living that version at IMT, and it tends to show in the first month.
Market25 Jan 2027
The fee is $220.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Cukaricki drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Business is business: Charly Keita goes
TSC paid $240.0K and IMT took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Squad25 Jan 2027
“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.
Match23 Jan 2027
A bad afternoon for IMT against TSC
0‑2 to TSC, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Squad25 Jan 2027
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and IMT know it.

Match16 Jan 2027
No end in sight to IMT's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at IMT has to find a result from somewhere.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Tempers go at IMT
Ognjen Čančarević 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.
Market18 Jan 2027
FC Midtjylland paid $450.0K and IMT took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Squad18 Jan 2027
The manager makes an example of Mateja Premović
“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.
Player ratings18 Jan 2027
A performance of 8.12 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
Squad18 Jan 2027
Words at IMT training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Stefan Šapić 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.
Squad18 Jan 2027
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
Player ratings18 Jan 2027
Marked 3.89. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Jérémy Manzorro, 34, rolls back the years — 8.05
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.05 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Marked 9.01 — 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.
The terraces26 Oct 2026
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Sankara Karamoko has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
Match24 Oct 2026
Radnicki 1923 made IMT work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Sankara Karamoko was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.37. 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.

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marko Jevtić, and the manager let it.
Squad26 Oct 2026
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad5 Oct 2026
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Farid Boulaya pulls a muscle — 16 days out
The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026
Wages eat 98% of everything IMT earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
Market5 Oct 2026
It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Kevin Cuneo is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.

An afternoon Marko Jevtić will want back
Marked 5.79. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.
Player ratings5 Oct 2026
5.80. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

A fracture rules Vladimir Radočaj out for 41 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason IMT will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Farid Boulaya. 2‑1 against OFK Beograd, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The terraces21 Sep 2026
At 22 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 offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 25 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
