The 2024/25 season will also begin today in the youth Eon NextGen League, with two matches scheduled, both to be played in Ljubljana. In Vič, where Svoboda is based, the Ljubljana rivals Olimpija and Ilirija will face each other. The Dragons have lost their coach just before the match, with whom they had been preparing for new challenges. Less than 24 hours before the game, Olimpija confirmed our exclusive report that Boštjan Miklič is no longer the coach of the under-19 team. Miklič has also left his position as head of the entire club’s operations.
Olimpija will start the new season under the guidance of Antonio Delamea Mlinar, but the former Slovenian international is only a temporary solution. The long-term solution cannot be at the moment, as the retired defender, who ended his career at Olimpija, does not have the appropriate license to manage the team in this competition tier. Anyone wanting to be the head coach in the youth Eon NextGen League must hold a UEFA PRO license, which Antonio Delamea Mlinar currently does not have.
The rules of the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) do allow clubs to have a coach without the appropriate license, but not for more than 60 days. Therefore, Olimpija will need to find someone else to lead the youth team on a long-term basis, as the club is based in Stožice.
