Hörður Magnússon says Olimpija Ljubljana 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.

Match28 Dec 2026

Olimpija Ljubljana refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 29 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Olimpija Ljubljana

Hörður Magnússon 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.

Matevž Dajčar keeps Olimpija Ljubljana in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Nothing got past Jan Gorenc

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 30 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Diga: 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.” Olimpija Ljubljana have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Dino Kojić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Jošt Urbančič in the eights

A performance of 9.02 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Hörður Magnússon gets it from the manager

“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.

Bruno Lourenço in the eights

A performance of 8.68 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Antonio Marin is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Olimpija Ljubljana is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Marko Ristić shuts the door

Defensive actions: 18, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Pedro Lucas

“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 ratings19 Oct 2026

Gonçalo Gregório leaves them behind him

Shots: 8. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Match17 Oct 2026

Point won or two lost for Olimpija Ljubljana?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against ND Gorica? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Álex Blanco 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 Olimpija Ljubljana, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Marat Žlibanović asks to leave Olimpija Ljubljana

“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.

The NK Maribor deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Antonio Marin reports back to Olimpija Ljubljana with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Hörður Magnússon 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 Olimpija Ljubljana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Bruno Lourenço sends Olimpija Ljubljana past NK Maribor

It finished 2‑1, and it was Bruno Lourenço’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Olimpija Ljubljana.

One of those days for Dimitar Mitrovski

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

No hiding place for Kelvin Ofori

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