Former Slovenian international Luka Krajnc made his debut for his home club over the past weekend. He has returned to Maribor after a decade abroad, most recently spending time in Italy, where he spent most of his career. Before moving to Ljudski vrt, he was a member of Catanzaro, and upon leaving, he shared some candid thoughts about his previous superiors with Italian journalists.
“My departure from Catanzaro? It all happened suddenly, as four days after the transfer window closed in Italy, the director told me that we needed to talk. I had suspected something before, and then he told me that I was no longer in the team’s plans, off the list, for reasons I honestly do not understand. I always had support and respect from the coach and his staff. I don’t think I deserved such treatment; at the very least, I deserved to be informed about the situation earlier,” the 29-year-old Luka Krajnc lamented.
Luka Krajnc: “There Is A Lot Of Regret”
The 4-time Slovenian international continued: “The director never asked me how I was, never said: ‘Luka, if you don’t leave, you will be out of the team.’ The coach always counted on me, even in the first home game against Sassuolo, I was given a chance, albeit just for five minutes. In the end, things turned out better for me than I could have imagined, as I returned home. But there is still a lot of regret, as I am convinced that I could have contributed a lot to Catanzaro in the new season. I wish all my former teammates the best, they deserve it.”
Luka Krajnc also admitted that his adventure in Styria started in the best possible way: “Returning home was wonderful; I was welcomed with open arms. I already knew some of the players, so everything went smoothly and we quickly bonded. Playing in front of home fans is always something special, and being so valued means a lot to me. We won the first game without conceding a goal, which is great. I hope we can continue like this.”
