In Cologne today, there are more than 10,000 Slovenians. Most will stay until the end of the day, perhaps even until Wednesday in the city by the River Rhine, and then – back home. But Jaka Čuber Potočnik will remain in Cologne for quite some time. Hoping that the upcoming season will bring him a lot. Primarily, he aims for definitive recognition on the senior stage. The Slovenian youngster began playing there towards the end of last season, scoring 6 goals in 11 matches for Cologne’s reserve team in the fourth division, further confirming his considerable talent.
Now, Jaka Čuber Potočnik will try to take another step forward and prove himself to the coach who will lead Cologne’s first team in the new season. They dropped out of the elite Bundesliga and on Monday were led for the first time by the new coach Gerhard Struber, former coach of Red Bull Salzburg, who also invited a former footballer from Ljubljana’s Olimpija.
Under Struber’s leadership, Jaka Čuber Potočnik and his teammates trained for two hours; around 300 club supporters watched the session. The club is in serious trouble this year, unable to buy new footballers. Therefore, they must rely on internal resources. It seems that the opportunity to prove himself on the pitches of the second German league will also be given to 19-year-old Jaka Čuber Potočnik, who has been playing for Cologne since late January 2022. He is contractually bound to his German club until 2027.
