The 2024/25 season will also begin on Saturday in the Youth Eon NextGen League, where Maribor will defend their championship title. Olimpija is also expected to be in the race for the top spot, but – believe it or not – a change has occurred on the coaching bench just one day before the opening match! Boštjan Miklič has left the Dragons. Last season, he was both the head of the youth system and the coach of the youth team. Now, he is neither. He was replaced at the top of the pyramid some time ago by the unknown Armin Alibegović, and the coach who will lead the youth team against Ilirija on Saturday is already known.
Until further notice, the Olimpija U19 team will be led by former Slovenian international Antonio Delamea Mlinar, who has been involved in the youth system of the club from the Slovenian capital since retiring from football in the summer of 2022. Until now, he was only an assistant, including some time with the senior team. Until Olimpija finds a permanent replacement for Miklič, the 33-year-old retired defender with experience in the MLS will lead the U19 team. It is still unknown why the change happened at such an inconvenient time, just 24 hours before the opening match of the new competitive year.
