After Miran Srebrnić, the winds of change in Nova Gorica have swept away another club legend: Florjan Debenjak says goodbye
Since the cooperation with the businessman from the United States was agreed in Nova Gorica, the local top league has been in a strong slump. In recent months, the

a number of radical changes have taken place. The playing staff has been strengthened and the professional staff has been overhauled. The latter even more so; at the beginning it was led by Miran Srebrnič, then for a month and a half the legendary Edy Reja had the main say, and a few days ago Agron Shalja took over the reins.
The changes on the coaching bench resonated strongly, of course, but the farewell of another legend of Novogorica football resonated a little less. Florjan Debenjak, who has been assistant coach since 2018, also recently left the Blue-Whites. He jumped into the head coach’s shoes a few times when necessary, but now his time in Nova Gorica is over.

In fact, he has been there for all the biggest successes of the club from the border town.
