In Celje, just a few days before their return match against Shamrock, they have apparently decided to announce who will no longer be part of the squad that convincingly won the national championship last season. A significant contributor to that success was also the captain Denis Popović, who, like Matic Vrbanec (and soon-to-be former Tin Matić), has now become a former player.

From the city of the counts, it has been announced that they have mutually agreed to terminate the contract with the 34-year-old, which was set to last until the end of the current season. Popović returned to Celje as a local player, who, during his time with the club, experienced playing across Europe and around the world.
To honor him, the club decided that, regardless of everything, as captain, he deserves a proper farewell. Therefore, the club will bid a formal farewell to their now-former captain during a home match against Maribor. This match has been postponed to a later, yet-to-be-determined date due to both teams’ participation in European competition qualifiers.
