The HNK Rijeka Chronicle

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market17 Aug 2026

HNK Rijeka turn down Lokomotiva Zagreb for Ante Matej Jurić

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

Nobody could get near Toni Fruk

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Lovre Rogić

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Toni Fruk 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 HNK Rijeka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Aleksa Todorović

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

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Roman Neustädter in the eights

A performance of 8.46 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Dejan Petrovič

Marked 8.11 — 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Honours even between HNK Rijeka and HNK Gorica

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market17 Aug 2026

The shop window has Aleksa Todorović in it

HNK Rijeka have let the market know Aleksa Todorović can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Nothing got past Anel Husić

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 26 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Tiago Dantas signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tiago Dantas commits to HNK Rijeka for another 4 years.

One of those days for Toni Fruk

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.28, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match8 Aug 2026

Ante Matej Jurić sends HNK Rijeka past NK Osijek

It finished 2‑0, and it was Ante Matej Jurić’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to HNK Rijeka.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Samuele Vignato

“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.

Market10 Aug 2026

48 months and counting on Toni Fruk

Still no offer on the table, and Toni Fruk’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Ante Majstorović shuts the door

Defensive actions: 17, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Aleksa Todorović keeps HNK Rijeka 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

HNK Rijeka say no — this time

The offer from CFR Cluj for Daniel Adu-Adjei 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.

Toni Fruk signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Toni Fruk commits to HNK Rijeka for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at HNK Rijeka

Toni Fruk 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.

One of those days for Tornike Morchiladze

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 10.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match1 Aug 2026

HNK Rijeka get the job done against NK Varazdin

A 3‑2 win over NK Varazdin, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
