Olimpija with a resounding New Year’s personnel move: Four footballers removed from the team, including Rui Pedro and Mustafa Nukić!
Even Olimpija has broken the winter hibernation. The players of the current Slovenian champions gathered on Sunday evening for dinner in the VIP lounge of the stadium in Stožice. Testing followed on Monday, with the initial training scheduled for tomorrow. However, instead of an idyllic atmosphere, it increasingly seems that the situation is once again chaotic at the club. As we’ve learned, Olimpija’s management sidelined as many as four of their players at the beginning of the new year! Among them are Rui Pedro, the top scorer of the dragons, and Mustafa Nukić, a fan favorite!
Additionally, at least temporarily, the Austrian young international Pascal Estrada, who has played only one game for Olimpija this season, and Serbian defender Marko Mijailović, who joined the green-whites in the summer transfer window, are reportedly excluded from the team.

The reason for the ‘suspension’ primarily seems to be related to a ‘bonus affair’; players were promised a financial reward for success in Europe, but ultimately, the club’s management reconsidered, emphasizing that only those who had it in their contracts would receive it. However, there are very few players in that category. For Rui Pedro and Estrada, according to unofficial information, the reason for such a drastic move is also their purported unwillingness to extend their contract with Olimpija.
According to current available information, this mentioned quartet will not train with the senior team until further notice. Olimpija will hold a press conference on Tuesday, where the public will likely learn more about the whole situation.
