Girona opened disciplinary proceedings against Tsygankov

The 2026/27 season in Spain's second strongest division began for Girona with a loud internal conflict. Ukrainian winger Viktor Tsygankov categorically refused to come on as a substitute in the opening match of the championship against Leganes. After that, Girona officially announced the opening of disciplinary proceedings against the 28-year-old football player. The club believes that Tsygankov's recent behavior could indicate a violation of his contractual obligations, and also did not meet the standards of behavior established in the team. Girona emphasized that it will protect its own rights and interests and may take appropriate measures based on the results of the review. At the same time, the club has not yet disclosed other details of the situation and does not plan to make additional public statements regarding the disciplinary proceedings. It was reported that Vanat also boycotted coming on as a substitute in the game against Leganes.
