Krka will also play in the youth Eon NextGen league in the new season, but the U19 team will not be the only one trying to prove that Novo Mesto is traditionally good at working with teenagers. It is worth noting that the operations of the club from the capital of Dolenjska will now be overseen by Matej Škrbec as the head of the football school. Škrbec is a familiar face to Krka fans. Last season, he coached Krka’s youth team, then left in the winter, handing over the reins to Iztok Kapušin.

However, Matej Škrbec couldn’t stay away from football, or from Krka, for long. Six months later, he returned to Portoval, this time in a different but still crucial role. His guiding principle in his new job is clear: “We want to create a homegrown squad and promote the best players from our football school to the senior team. I also wish for a first-league Krka, where three-quarters of the playing staff will be homegrown players.” Matej Škrbec revealed that 7 members of the youth team are already involved in the senior team’s training process. Regarding the competitive goals of the program, he highlighted the desire to return to the positions the club has achieved in the past.
Additionally, Iztok Kapušin will continue to lead Krka’s youth team next season, former first-league striker Slaviša Dvorančič will coach the cadet team, and Mitja Frankovič will train the older boys’ team.
