After an exceptionally successful career at the highest level, Miral Samardžić recently decided to return to his hometown. He currently holds a dual role in Jesenice: he is both a football player and a sporting director. He wears the captain’s armband and, despite being 37 years old, he demonstrates his undeniable qualities that brought him all the way to the Slovenian national team, for which he played 15 matches.
Born in 1987, Miral Samardžić caught attention again on Saturday after he played a significant part in surprising Dob, the league leaders in the 3. SNL West, by holding them to a 1:1 draw in front of 150 spectators. The Gorenjci took the lead in the 20th minute when Miral Samardžić scored, but their lead did not last long. Just two minutes later, home veteran Slobodan Vuk equalized, converting a penalty for his eighth goal of the season, placing him at the top of the goalscoring chart. The final score at the Sport Park Dob was 1:1.
After the match, the Gorenjci expressed their dissatisfaction with the officiating by referee Teo Glažar. “Despite questionable officiating resulting in an unfair penalty awarded to Dob, numerous yellow cards, and one red card for Jesenice, we played evenly against the league leaders,” they stated from Jesenice. It should be noted that the red card was issued to Armin Kukavica, who was sitting on the bench at the time.
Miral Samardžić played all 90 minutes for the guests, and the goal he scored was his first league goal in Slovenia after almost exactly four years. His last goal prior to this was in October 2020 when he played for Olimpija in the Prva Liga Telemach. At that time, Dino Skender was coaching the Dragons, and Samardžić scored during a 2:0 victory over city rivals Brav, assisted by Mihail Caimacov.
