Žiga Čakš is a unique football phenomenon, a rarity in modern football. The 30-year-old has played over 200 matches at the senior level, all in the jersey of – one club! Žiga Čakš has been faithful to his hometown club from start to finish, but all good things come to an end. Dravinja will have to find its way in the new season without the player who has been loyal to the club throughout his career; Žiga Čakš has decided to retire.
“He will remain a legend of Dravinja and will always be welcome at the club in any role,” said the sports director of the Slovenian second division club Nik Lorbek to the local Novice upon Čakš’s farewell.
But that’s not the only change Dravinja has undergone after the end of the past season. After six months, Victor Diagne, a former member of Latvian Valmiera, bid farewell as his work permit expired. Former Maribor talent Nick Harnik Horvat will also seek opportunities elsewhere, giving priority to Aleksandar Radić, while 23-year-old Gabrijel Jevšenak awaits knee surgery, which will require several months of rest.
It is more or less clear that Lovro Grajfoner has already taken off the Dravinja jersey, moving to Domžale before, and young Aljaž Vodopivec might also depart – possibly abroad. There is significant interest in him, particularly from neighboring Italy.
