Nejc Skubic endured two years without football. Now he’s making a comeback. However, not on the playing field. The times when he faced the challenges of football at the highest level are quite distant after two years on the sidelines. Nevertheless, the former Slovenian international will be involved in football again, and it’s none other than in Turkey. Nejc Skubic has become one of the few football officials abroad after entering into a collaboration with a club where he feels at home.
Nejc Skubic, a former member of Domžale, played for Konyaspor for a remarkable six years, during which he made 254 appearances, scored 19 goals, and provided 30 assists. He was also the captain and undoubtedly left his mark in the club’s history. Now, as mentioned, he has returned, taking on a highly interesting role: the 34-year-old has become a consultant for football matters and scouting for the club.
“Nejc Skubic played successfully with us between 2016 and 2022 and was a member of the team that won the Turkish Cup and Super Cup. Skubic concluded his career at Konyaspor, where he enjoyed the affection of the fans. We welcome him back to the club and wish him great success,” greeted the Slovenian back in Konya, where the Turkish top-flight club is still based. However, at this moment, things are not going according to plan as they are second to last in the standings.
