At the most inappropriate time of the season: Jan Mlakar was left without a place on the pitch in Italy, playing only 63 minutes in the last five matches

While many Slovenes shine ahead of Euro 2024, the story is different for the footballer who played a significant role in the journey to the tournament in Germany. Jan Mlakar, who left Hajduk last year and returned to Italy, convinced that he had taken a step forward in his career. But did he really? True, he is a member of a club vying for promotion to Serie A, but Jan Mlakar simply isn’t playing anymore.
The Ljubljana native, once a member of Maribor, has recently found himself without a place on the pitch. There’s no doubt that this happened at the least appropriate time. Euro 2024 is only 54 days away! 25-year-old Jan Mlakar initially played a lot at the beginning of his new adventure with Pisa, but goals were scarce. This led to a place on the bench, where he sat four times in the last six matches of his club. Once he wasn’t even in the squad, and when he finally got a chance against Como, he only spent 63 minutes on the field.
It’s also noteworthy that Jan Mlakar last played in Serie B over a month ago! He was also absent from the lineup on Saturday when Pisa visited Bari and drew 1-1. The attacker wasn’t the only Slovenian in the squad who didn’t play. At Bari, Žan Žužek, who is a transfer target for both Olimpija and Celje, sat on the bench from start to finish.
