On Thursday, for the last time in the year 2023, Marko Šuler faced the journalists. The sports director of Maribor predictably assessed the autumn part of the season as not good enough, which, clearly, is one of the reasons why there will be a player cleanup at Ljudski vrt during the break. But Marko Šuler will not only have a lot of work in finding new forces but also in negotiating contracts with the current players of the club. Not everyone is on the chopping block; there are, of course, those with whom Maribor wants to extend cooperation.
As revealed by Marko Šuler, new contracts could also be signed by defenders Max Watson and Nemanja Mitrović, although the latter is tempted away from Slovenia, and the former doesn’t currently have a status that satisfies him, to be honest.
“We’ve settled most things; only Watson and Mitrović have contracts until the end of the season. Max is also considering a move abroad, but I believe we are fairly close and could agree on an extension of cooperation. I believe Nemanja hasn’t said his final word either. We will talk with him,” said Marko Šuler. Korošec confirmed the previously announced squad changes.
“I can confirm that Vidaković is returning from loan. He had a successful half-season in Serbia, coming back with different experiences. Additionally, he fits the player profile that could suit us. We’ll see if he can be competitive. Also, after gaining experience in the second league, Dizdarević will join the team,” added 40-year-old Marko Šuler.
