Roman Pilipčuk started working during last summer’s preparations, continued by Albert Riera, who quickly left due to an offer from France, and finished by Damir Krznar. The Croatian, who failed to clinch the title with Maribor, found a way to bring Celje to its knees, defeating Olimpija in the decisive match. Celje triumphs, Celje is the Slovenian champion for 2024!
Celje has now claimed the title of the best for the second time in its history. The club, which has never been relegated from the elite (the only one that can boast such an achievement alongside Maribor), first triumphed in 2020, also defeating Olimpija in the decisive match. With the second trophy, Celje has risen from the “bottom” position on the eternal list of clubs with championship titles, where now only Koper and Mura are placed (both have won once each).
As mentioned, Celje has won the Slovenian championship for the second time and caught up with Domžale, who have also celebrated twice. The next club that Celje will manage to catch up with is Gorica, which has been champion four times. Olimpija has triumphed seven times, while Maribor a remarkable 16 times. The statistics are therefore quite interesting: Maribor has more Slovenian championship titles than all other clubs combined…
All Slovenian champions:
16 – Maribor
7 – Olimpija
4 – Gorica
2 – Domžale, Celje
1 – Koper, Mura
