While Slovenia counts down to its second match at Euro 2024, young national team player Tio Cipot, one of the most promising footballers here, is awaiting official confirmation of a deal that will take him from Italy to Austria. A year and a half ago, Tio Cipot signed for Spezia in Italy, but so far, it hasn’t paid off for him. He has played little in the black and white jersey and, aiming for regular playing time, the decision was made to seek fortune elsewhere in the upcoming season.
As already known, Tio Cipot will soon sign a contract with the newly promoted Austrian Bundesliga club from Graz. Grazer AK (GAK) historically ranks among the larger Austrian clubs but had recently fallen to the bottom. Now recovering, they will return to the elite Bundesliga from this year onwards. He will be aided by a former Mura player, who – as reported by the Italian media – will be merely loaned to Graz.
In the past, GAK has been marked by numerous Slovenian players. Aleš Čeh played there for a solid 11 years and was also team captain, Željko Milinović wore their jersey, and ultimately, current Slovenian national team coach Matjaž Kek was a member of the Graz club for almost a decade.
