In the second senior league of MNZ Maribor, which is fifth in the country in terms of quality, the battle for promotion to the fourth league in spring will likely be fought mainly between Brunšvik and Lenart. Between the two clubs, which have only experienced two defeats together, there is only a two-point difference – Brunšvik leads, and Lenart is second. One of the key players for the latter in the fall was Alen Ploj, who scored 10 goals and was the league’s third top scorer. In the spring, he will also be assisted by Žiga Živko, a former member of Maribor.
The 28-year-old Žiga Živko was a two-time national champion with Maribor, although it is true that his role was marginal. He made the most impact in May 2014 when he scored his first and only top-league goal for Maribor in an away match against Gorica. The defender bid farewell to the Purple three years later when he signed for Nafta. Later, he also played for the Hungarian club ZTE, and most recently, he was in Austria.
Before returning home, Žiga Živko wore the jersey of the club TuS Rein, playing 19 matches and scoring once. As mentioned, he will now prove himself again locally, and Lenart has undoubtedly gained an important reinforcement. Žiga Živko, who played one game for the national team under 16 in his youth, can boast a total of 151 appearances in the first, second, and third leagues.
