After Rogaška lost its license and dropped to the bottom of the Slovenian football pyramid, it logically saw the departure of all its top players. However, the coach did not leave. Despite many expecting that Oskar Drobne would leverage their cup triumph to advance in his coaching career, this won’t happen. The former successful top-league forward will continue to lead the senior team of the club from Rogaška Slatina, but that won’t be his only role in the spa town.
“Oskar Drobne, the most successful coach in the history of NK Rogaška, remains at the helm of the coaching staff of the Slatina club. In addition to his role as the head coach of the senior team, he will also focus on improving the quality of work in the youth selections, passing on knowledge and experience to both coaches and players in the NK Rogaška Football School,” announced the Rogaška Slatina club, adding that despite everything that has happened, they are aiming high for the 2024/25 season: “The senior team will gather for the opening training session on Monday, July 15. The team’s goal is clear, which is to win the championship and advance to a higher level of competition.”
49-year-old Oskar Drobne has been on the Rogaška bench since March 2022, and to date, he has led the black-and-whites in over 80 matches. He initially guided the club into the Prva liga Telemach and kept them there, and on top of that, he secured the Pivovarna Union Cup, which was a historic achievement for the now former top-league club.
