On Saturday, the 2024/25 season also began in the Youth Eon NextGen League, where Olimpija and Ilirija faced off in the first round. The match was dramatic, with the home team securing a win in the 91st minute thanks to a penalty scored by summer newcomer Adriano Rizvić. The day before the match, Olimpija dismissed Boštjan Miklič (Sportklub reports that no explanation was given), and Antonio Delamea Mlinar took over as a temporary solution. Or rather, he was just a temporary solution.
As we have learned, Olimpija has almost certainly found a new coach for the youth team. According to our information, the new coach will be the relatively unknown Croatian expert Ivan Senzen. The 43-year-old specialist from Zagreb recently worked in the United Arab Emirates, the same place where Armin Alibegović, the new head of Olimpija’s youth sector, was recently employed.
Despite being relatively unknown, Ivan Senzen boasts some good results. During the decade he spent at Dinamo, he notably led the youth team of the Zagreb giant. With them, he achieved very good results on the domestic front, with his team scoring a lot of goals, although given Dinamo’s strength, this is not particularly surprising.
In the 2022/23 season, he also led Dinamo in the UEFA Youth League. In the group stage, they defeated Chelsea 4:2 and Austria’s Red Bull Salzburg 2:1, but despite these six points, it was not enough to advance. Now, as mentioned, Ivan Senzen will continue his career in Ljubljana, and he could be confirmed as the new coach of Olimpija very soon.
