From unknown boy to Olympiakos reinforcement in one year: Ivan Brnić makes no secret of his gratitude to Maribor
Let’s be honest: when it came to
Maribor
, most of the fans of the Styrian giant heard about him for the first time. Now he’s leaving as a million-dollar reinforcement of one of Europe’s most iconic clubs… On Friday, Ivan Brnić finally said goodbye to Maribor, where he spent a year. But how fruitful has this year been… He played a lot, he played well and now he has become a million-dollar Olympiakos signing. But Ivan Brnić will not forget Maribor for a long, long time.
“I have had a wonderful year in Maribor. I am sorry that it had to end in a 0:3 defeat against Fenerbahçe. But that’s life, that’s football. I was really happy and satisfied here, I made a lot of progress in my training and mentality, I matured in my game. I have improved in many ways, psychologically and physically, in football and in life. Maribor was like a second family to me. Here I have been given all the conditions to become the best I can be. That’s why my biggest regret is not lifting the trophy with Maribor, even though I had the chance,” said as he bid farewell to Ljudski vrt

Ivan Brnić: “Thank you to Viola and all the fans”
After his transfer to the 47-time Greek champions, Ivan Brnić, only 21 years old, admitted that he did not expect such a big leap forward. Understandably, just a year ago he was playing far, far away from the eyes of the Athens giant’s spectators. “I didn’t expect it to happen so early, but I have to adapt. The decision was weighed down by the realisation that I simply had to move on. Maribor was the right stepping stone for me, now I’m starting again step by step and I will do my best to present myself in the best light in my new environment. Moving to the biggest club in Greece is definitely a big step forward in my career. Of course, I will also follow every Maribor game from a distance, when time allows. Over the past few months, I have felt really comfortable in the club and the city. Thank you to Viola and all the fans, they have always been so supportive! I say goodbye with fond memories and with the hope that Maribor will bring the trophy back to Ljudski vrt later in the season.” added Ivan Brnić as he bid farewell to Maribor and Slovenia.
