About Us

Welcome to Waroffutbol! It is a football/soccer blog which focuses on unfolding unanswered or unpopular yet widely-searched content on this most popular sport on earth. The articles here are NON AI-generated and include news, analysis, and featured stories from goalkeepers and managers, who deserve equal credit as the outfield players. They continue to be underappreciated figures in football and should be given the same spotlight.


Regarding the name of this blog, the word 'war' is derived from my given name, Wardhana. As a disclaimer, it has nothing to do with violence. My experience as a football writer and contributor for various news platforms since 2019 ensures that the content is well-researched and analysed from numerous credible sources, without even any assistance from AI tools, except for the pictures.

Juventus’ Most Notable Eastern European Bosses since WWII

  Juventus rarely signs the managers from Eastern Europe until recently with Igor Tudor’s appointment. Juventus’ campaign this season has not turned out as expected. Despite naming one of the most in-demand and talented manager, Thiago Motta, at the beginning of the season, they have not been able to dominate Serie A. Motta’s side were stuck in the top four, instead of leading the league, and failed to progress to UCL’s round of 16 following their defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the playoff round. Furthermore, the former Bologna’s boss even reportedly lost his control in the dressing room and suffered a humiliating 5-0 loss to Atalanta. He was then relieved from his duty and replaced by Juventus’ ex-player and assistant manager during Andrea Pirlo’s tenure, Igor Tudor. The Croat’s appointment for La Vecchia Signora was rather unexpected. He has yet to win a silverware in his managerial career. His last job in Lazio was not really satisfactory too. Yet, Tudor was signed to take cha...

The Serial Top Scorers at the Top Level without a Single Major Trophy

  A number of serial top scorers seem to have had tough luck in winning a trophy despite being known as prolific goal scorers. Being a serial top scorer in various competitions, including the major ones, does not necessarily guarantee silverware. They may have an eye for goals, but lifting trophies can be an entirely different story from scoring. The failure of Bayern Munich to progress to the Champions League semifinal last week seems to justify another misfortune of Harry Kane, the current serial top scorer at the top level. Despite having been awarded top scorer accolades multiple times in almost all major competitions both at the club and international levels, the England skipper still lacks a trophy in his career. The former Spurs star has won EPL top scorers three times, followed by Bundesliga and UCL top scorer, plus the Golden Boot award in the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro championship. He was even awarded the European Golden Shoe last season. However, Lady luck se...

The Best Nordic Clubs in European Competitions

  Only a few Nordic clubs have had the best campaign in European competitions, and one of them was under the tutelage of the late Sven-Goran Eriksson. The departure of Sven-Goran Eriksson, one of the best Scandinavian managers in history, this week certainly marks the great loss in Nordic football. He was able to lift up the level of the Scandinavian club's reputation during his early managerial career in the 1980s, inspired by Bob Houghton, who introduced and instilled English football in the country in the 1970s. Unfortunately, there have not been any other Nordic clubs replicating such success ever since. In fact, no more teams from Northern Europe have been able to go through the further stages in any continental competitions but one side, FC Copenhagen, in the Europa League 2020. It is very likely that such a trend would continue unless they could stun the top sides in the newly formatted Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. It is a long shot, but there ...
