A year shy of his 50th birthday, Oskar Drobne achieved the pinnacle of his coaching career. Not only did he steer Rogaška to survival in the Prva Liga Telemach, but he also secured their first-ever trophy in history. Rogaška became the 10th Slovenian club to win the cup, poised to be the next team to compete in Europe, but… But Oskar Drobne won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Rogaška failed to secure a license, and the former footballer doesn’t hide his bitter disappointment.
Nevertheless, Oskar Drobne has undoubtedly carved his name among the immortals. He has entered the Slovenian coaching “Hall of Fame,” his name forever etched among those who have conquered laurels in the land of the sunny side of the Alps. There have been 38 such instances before, and Oskar Drobne now stands as the 39th in line. He also became the first Slovenian to clinch a trophy since 2022, when Zoran Zeljković won the cup and Radovan Karanović the championship.
Out of the 39 coaches who have adorned Slovenia with a trophy, 28 were Slovenians and 11 were foreigners. Among them, by far the most successful is Darko Milanič, who has secured 12 laurels. Following him are Bojan Prašnikar (9), Ante Šimundža (5), and Pavel Pinni (4). The most successful foreigner of all time is Rodolfo Vanoli, who clinched three trophies with Koper and Olimpija. Ironically, it’s to the same place where Vanoli currently resides that Oskar Drobne heads after his career success. Unfortunately, it’s off to the job market… With a trophy under his belt, however, he’ll undoubtedly find a new employer much easier.
