The manager makes an example of Martin Huldahl
“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.

Brondby left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Jairo signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jairo commits to Hobro for another 1 years.

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Experience through the door at Hobro
Jairo arrives at 37 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Lucas Dilelio asks for a word with the manager
From our football correspondent
Uneasy
Squad28 Sep 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Market28 Sep 2026
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hobro, and it is not being withdrawn.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Defensive actions: 30. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 23 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Mats Köhlert 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 Hobro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match26 Sep 2026
It finished 2‑0, and it was Luka Guček’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hobro.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Marked 8.35 — 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.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
A performance of 8.26 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
Squad28 Sep 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.

Match19 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Hobro's wait for a win
9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hobro has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Tempers go at Hobro
Mats Köhlert 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.
Match19 Sep 2026
OB take the points off Hobro
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Nobody could get near Jiří Klíma
Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad21 Sep 2026
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mikkel Pedersen trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
5.55 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Marked 5.80, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

A season on the outside for Gastón Rossi
He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Hobro has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Hobro are in real trouble now
Position 12, 2 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

“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.

Marked 7.70 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Hobro had the best player on the pitch.
Match12 Sep 2026
The crowd waited for a goal that never came. SonderjyskE defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Wages eat 254% of everything Hobro 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.
Squad7 Sep 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mats Köhlert, and the manager let it.
Match5 Sep 2026
A bad afternoon for Hobro against Randers
0‑1 to Randers, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Hobro will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.
Squad7 Sep 2026
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Hobro, and both men came out saying it was fine.

SonderjyskE come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Hobro did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Match29 Aug 2026
The wait goes on for Hobro
6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Hobro has been clear about where Zander Hyltoft stands, which is more than many ever get.
