Unless there is a major turnaround, which is highly unlikely, Radovan Karanović will step into the rather large shoes of the current youth team coach of Maribor. Dejan Dončić led the Štajerska team to the championship title in the U19 league last season and started the new competitive year with five consecutive victories. Despite this, Dejan Dončić has answered the call from his former club and from Prva Liga Telemach.
The Ljubljana native, who bid farewell with a significant victory in the eternal derby against Olimpija on Friday, is returning to Domžale. Maribor, as mentioned, has quickly found a solution for the vacant position. Radovan Karanović, who was already a national champion with the senior team in 2022, will take over the youth team. Just a few months later, a results crisis saw him leave the senior team’s bench, but he remained with the club. He took on work with young players, a role he had previously been involved in, and Maribor has entrusted him with the position of head coach of the youth academy.
The 55-year-old is returning to the sidelines after more than two years, where he will face some interesting challenges. Not only will he aim to defend Maribor’s U19 championship title, but the Štajerska youth team will soon also face their first opponent in the UEFA Youth League…
