Partizan has concluded another season that brought a lot of disappointment to the fans. The black and whites were once again significantly inferior to Red Star Belgrade, finishing a staggering 18 points behind their arch-rivals! Consequently, the club changed coaches, with the familiar face of Aleksandar Stanojević returning to the JNA Stadium. There will also be significant personnel changes in the first team squad, and one of those who could strengthen Partizan’s ranks is – as we have learned – Mario Jurčević, who, according to reliable information, is a candidate to join the 16-time Serbian champions, who also won 11 times in former Yugoslavia.
29-year-old Mario Jurčević is currently plying his trade in Cyprus, where he is a member of Apollon Limasol. In the just-concluded season, he played 28 games for Apollon, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. His statistics would likely have been even better if he hadn’t missed some time due to a foot injury. He is contractually tied to Apollon for another year, and at this point, it is not known how much the Cypriots would demand for the Slovenian footballer.
Mario Jurčević, who has also played 4 games for the Slovenian national team in the past, has been earning his bread on the Mediterranean island since last summer. Before that, he spent three years with Croatian club Osijek. In Slovenia, he has worn the jerseys of Olimpija, Radomlje, and Aluminij. Interestingly, years ago, there was also interest in him from Red Star Belgrade, but a transfer to Belgrade did not materialize at that time.
