He has not yet considered returning home, after all, he is a member of the giant from Greece. But if Benjamin Verbič ever comes back to Prva liga Telemach, then there is only one option for him – Celje. Before going abroad, Benjamin Verbič wore the jersey of the club from the princely city and remained loyal to it even when other Slovenian clubs called for him. When he left, it was due to an offer from abroad.
Although it will soon be 10 years since the now 30-year-old Benjamin Verbič said goodbye to the princely city, Celje football still means a lot to him. So much so that he wouldn’t play for anyone else in Slovenia.
“When the war in Ukraine broke out, they allowed me to train in Celje. It will always be my club; we regularly stay in touch and it will continue to be so. If I were to end my career in Slovenia, I would only do so in Celje. I am proud that Celje has become a football powerhouse in Slovenia. Since the time I played, this club has taken ten steps forward in every aspect. I hope they continue on this path and make Celje a European club,” said Benjamin Verbič to Nogomania. From Celje, he went to Kobenhavn, and before moving to Panathinaikos, he also played for Kyiv’s Dynamo and Warsaw’s Legia.
