From the first day, under the guidance of Ante Šimundža, two 17-year-old prospects from the Maribor football school, Niko Grlić and Max Alexander Bilać, will also be part of the team.
After the expiration of contracts, Aleks Pihler, Nemanja Mitrović, Itsuki Urata, and Marko Zalokar had to bid farewell to Ljudski vrt, while Ishaq Rafiu, after all the complications, is no longer a member of the club.
