Maribor is waiting for reinforcements and continues to clean up among the players who arrived at Ljudski vrt during the tenure of former coach Damir Krznar. On Friday, two players departed: Marko Kolar moved to Croatia to HNK Gorica, and Erico Castro has also definitively parted ways with the club. The 31-year-old former Angola international, born in Portugal, impressed Krznar during a European clash a year ago, leading Maribor to offer him a contract, although the dark-skinned forward had played very little serious football throughout his career.

He did not play much at Maribor either, and Erico Castro showed very little in the Styrian capital. The footballer, born in 1992, played a total of 13 matches for Maribor, scoring only twice. He was loaned to Rogaška in the middle of the last season, and although it seemed that he could have made a greater impact at Rogaška Slatina, he was completely overshadowed by Patrik Mijić among the black-and-whites. Erico Castro played only 185 minutes in the spa town.
The former player of Luxembourg’s Differdange 03, with whom Olimpija faced off in Europe two years ago, was contractually bound to Maribor for another year, but the signed contract has now been definitively terminated.
