Ilirija cannot be satisfied with the autumn part of the 2023/24 season. The Ljubljana-based team has only celebrated victory four times in 18 matches and entered the winter break second to last in the 2. SNL. Only Tabor has collected fewer points than Ilirija, trailing by seven points. In spring, the capital’s club faces a demanding battle to remain in the league, a challenge they seem to face weakened. Veteran player Dejan Djermanović is on the brink of changing employers, continuing his career where much of it truly began.

Dejan Djermanović is a winter transfer target for Rudar from Velenje, a team for which the veteran has previously played, specifically in 2010. The former captain of Olimpija, who also wore the captain’s armband for Ilirija this fall, scored 9 goals in 20 matches for Rudar in the 2010/11 season, securing a dream transfer to Bulgaria to play for Litex from Lovech. Later, he proved himself elsewhere before joining Ilirija in 2020.
Since his move to Šiška, he has scored 44 goals for his (former?) club, including six in the current season, although things haven’t entirely gone according to plan or desires. Despite this, he has attracted Rudar’s interest, where former national team player Simon Sešlar operates as a coach. Initial discussions between the parties have reportedly taken place, and whether Dejan Djermanović will indeed sign for the miners will be known shortly.
