Squad14 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Kazbek Mukailov at Krasnodar

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Kazbek Mukailov is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market14 Jun 2027

Krasnodar turn down AE Kition for Ilja Lantratov

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

Market14 Jun 2027

Diego Costa wants more than Krasnodar are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Alexandr Koryakin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alexandr Koryakin and Krasnodar agree another 3 years.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Krasnodar

Tormena 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.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Christian 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.

Loan watch14 Jun 2027

The goals keep arriving from Olakunle Olusegun’s exile

8 goals in 24 games at Nizhniy Novgorod — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Krasnodar updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Market14 Jun 2027

No place for José Cotrina in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” José Cotrina has his answer from Krasnodar; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market14 Jun 2027

The Stanislav Agkatsev story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Stanislav Agkatsev signs something — a contract at Krasnodar or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Stanislav Agkatsev 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 Krasnodar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Words at Krasnodar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christian 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.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Jhon Córdoba has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Krasnodar will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Nobody could get near Christian

Successful dribbles: 49. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match16 Jan 2027

14 unbeaten for Krasnodar

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Krasnodar did not have in the autumn.

Match16 Jan 2027

Krasnodar leave it late against Sochi

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 86th, and Sochi spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Match18 Jan 2027

Krasnodar up to position 3

49 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad18 Jan 2027

José Cotrina: 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.” Krasnodar have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Christian 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.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Krasnodar

Lucas Olaza 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.

Match16 Jan 2027

The run at home goes on for Krasnodar

8 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match16 Jan 2027

Juan Manuel Boselli sends Krasnodar past Sochi

It finished 1‑0, and it was Juan Manuel Boselli’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Krasnodar.

Moses Cobnan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match2 Jan 2027

Whatever happens, Krasnodar do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Batxi is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Krasnodar will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Ilja Syrovatskiy says Krasnodar went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Krasnodar

Tormena 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.

Match2 Jan 2027

Krasnodar cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
