For the last time this year, Marko Šuler, the sports director of the Styrian Premier League team Maribor, faced the media. The former national team player confirmed what has been hinted at for some time: the winter break at the Ljudski vrt stadium will serve for a thorough overhaul of the player roster. Several players are being ruled out (Skuka, Guerrico, Rafiu, partly Urata, Castro, and a few more), and there will be a number of newcomers. One of them is Maks Barišić, but he won’t be the only one arriving from the coastal region for the first gathering in 2024. Joining the preparations will be Alen Dizdarević, who spent the autumn on loan in the 2. SNL.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder from neighboring Croatia played 17 league matches in the first half of the 2023/24 season as a member of Jadran from Dekani. He scored once during these appearances. His considerable playtime seems to have attracted attention back at Ljudski vrt.
With a contract with Maribor until summer 2025, Alen Dizdarević will undoubtedly strive to convince coach Ante Šimundža during training sessions that he deserves not only a place in the preparations but also in the senior team.
The former promising prospect of Dinamo Zagreb moved to Maribor last summer but has yet to make an appearance for the senior team. In the previous season, he played 22 games for the youth team.
