The Nea Salamis Sentinel
Player ratings7 Dec 2026
José Artiles, 33, rolls back the years — 8.13
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.13 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Only the photograph left for Denys Vakulyk
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Denys Vakulyk will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Nea Salamis the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Match5 Dec 2026
Nea Salamis keep winning on the road
5 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

José Artiles 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.
Match5 Dec 2026
Nea Salamis get the job done against Agia Napa
A 1‑0 win over Agia Napa, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Squad7 Dec 2026
Pedro Ataíde is the month’s best young player
At 21 he was better than everybody his age in the division for four weeks running, which is harder than one good afternoon. Nea Salamis will try not to make too much of it.
The dugout7 Dec 2026
No hiding place for Alejandro Camargo
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alejandro Camargo, and the manager let it.
Squad7 Dec 2026
A place in the month's best eleven for Sergio González
Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Sergio González has come out of that comparison in the side, and Nea Salamis have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
The dugout7 Dec 2026
The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Valentinos Kastanos, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
In brief
- The dugout Denis Thomalla asks for a word with the manager
- The dugout Luan Viana does not fit this one
- Squad Is this Alejandro Camargo’s last season?
