Robert Pevnik surprised by Olimpija, Maribor and Celje: He expected Nik Marinšek to go to one of these clubs
That
Aluminium
after just one season back in the
Telemach First League
, a lot of the credit goes to Nik Marinšek. The former captain of the Red-Whites scored goals like clockwork for the club from Kidričevo in the 2022/23 season, and his excellent performances also earned him a transfer abroad. Nik Marinšek signed for Ried, who will play in the second Austrian league this season, and Aluminija coach Robert Pevnik is surprised that his former client didn’t go to one of the strongest clubs in Slovenia.

“Of course we will miss Nik, he was the captain, number ten, but we all know that a good team makes even better individuals and that Nik grew with the team. But I must admit that I find it a bit strange the reaction of Celje, Olimpija, Maribor, because I was sure that he would go to one of these clubs. But I wish him all the best in Ried, Austria. I want to see it progress. As for if we will miss it? We will find an adequate replacement and I believe we will succeed. Nick is gone, let’s move on,” Robert Pevnik told Navijaško zona. The former coach of Olimpija will also use the money Aluminij earned from Marinsek’s transfer to buy new faces.
Robert Pevnik: “Whoever comes must show quality!”
“We are looking for a striker. A cheat, clearly. We have a good striker, but we need reinforcements because of the number of games. After Marinšek’s departure, we are also looking for a player in this creative position, so we are still looking for more reinforcements in the midfield, attack and wing positions, and we would like to have another central defender. Otherwise, 65-70% of the team is complete. But I keep stressing: what we bring must be an upgrade, because I value the ones I already have. Whoever comes must show quality!” said 54-year-old Robert Pevnik.
