Goran Cvijanović, the coach of the Slovenian U17 national team, has announced the list of players he will rely on for the upcoming friendly matches against Czechia. He also revealed the names of the experts who will fill the gaps in the national team following the departure of Bojan Jokić and Jasmin Handanović. The former Slovenian internationals have accepted the invitation of Boštjan Cesar and joined the coaching staff of the senior team at Maribor.
This means that they will also be fully occupied during international breaks, prompting Goran Cvijanović to seek new assistants. He found them in the local environment, with Boban Jović and Benjamin Levak joining the cadet national team. Jović, a long-time player for Olimpija, recently led the cadet team in Celje, while Levak is a goalkeeper coach at Koper. Benjamin Levak, who hails from neighboring Croatia, also spent some time working at Olimpija last season.
Both Boban Jović and Benjamin Levak will join the Slovenian U17 national team—according to the official document sent to the clubs with players in the selected team—during the current gathering in Čatež ob Savi.
