Etienne Beugre is a football player from Ivory Coast who, in January, turned down his first call-up to the youth national team and chose to go to Turkey for a trial with a Slovenian top-league club. The 23-year-old forward impressed more than just Maribor and earned himself a contract with the Purple. However, he had to return to his home country to arrange all the necessary documentation for coming to Slovenia. Now, he is back at Ljudski Vrt, which will be his new home, where he will present himself to European football for the first time. Beugre already meets the requirements to play in the Prva Liga Telemach, so Ante Šimundža can count on him this Saturday in the match against Rogaška.
“The sports director and I agreed that he brings something different, a new dimension to our game, and a useful solution in the attacking phase. Etienne has confirmed his quality, the story unfolded positively, and after all matters are settled, he will join us in Maribor, and we will continue where we left off,” said the coach of the 16-time national champions earlier this month for the club’s website.
However, the return of Ishaq Rafiu is still causing a stir under the Pyramid. He has been dealing with bureaucracy regarding his return since the beginning of the calendar year when he was denied boarding in his native Nigeria as he did not meet the conditions for entering Europe. Nevertheless, the arrival of Beugre, who sorted out all the necessary issues in just over a month, has raised significant questions about his still unknown teammate, who has been going through known procedures for almost two months. Judge for yourself.
