Maribor wanted to keep him, but they couldn’t. Max Watson received a new contract offer, but the desire to return home was too strong. After two years, the defensive footballer bid farewell to the Ljudski vrt and will continue his career in the first Swedish league, having signed with IFK Norrköping. Marko Šuler, the sports director of Maribor, admitted that parting ways with their former player was not easy.
“A tough decision, but understandable given the situation. Max has left a significant mark; he fulfilled all his duties from the first to the last day as if from textbooks. He was an example of professionalism, but during the presentation of all matters, he expressed a desire to return home. When someone dedicates so much diligence during the joint period, we must also consider the human side and show the club’s greatness. At the same time, the story is also a business success. It should not be overlooked that we received a respectable transfer fee for a player who would be a free agent in the summer,” Marko Šuler told the club’s website.
The Carinthian official added on Watson’s departure: “From our side, thanks to Max for his contribution on the field, admiration for his attitude off the field, and we wish him a lot of luck in his future career. He is a foreigner who has made a contribution and would still be useful to us. However, considering all factors and realizing that we have already found a new solution for the center-back position, we allowed him to transfer.“
