Krka embarked on the 2023/24 season as one of the main favorites for promotion to the Prva liga Telemach, but on the field, the story was entirely different. The Dolenjska side suffered 10 defeats in 18 matches and is currently at a modest 13th position in the 2nd SNL standings. Sašo Udovič, the club’s sports director from Nova mesto, is understandably dissatisfied with the results but believes that spring will bring significant improvement.
“We couldn’t be satisfied with the results from the autumn part of the season. Nevertheless, we believe that intensive training will eventually yield results. We expect to improve our game and results in the second part of the season, consequently climbing up the league table,” said Sašo Udovič to the club’s website.
The former Slovenian international also announced winter squad changes: “After a detailed analysis of our game, we plan to reinforce the team across all lines. We’ve already parted ways with some players who didn’t meet our expectations, and we’ll actively involve young players in the first team in the future, adjusting training for better team efficiency. Currently, there are positions in the team where we feel a particularly strong need for reinforcements. We have some target players in mind, but we can’t disclose details yet.”
Sašo Udovič: “The vision remains unchanged”
Sašo Udovič aims to build the club’s future at the Portoval Stadium by focusing on young talents: “Involving young local players has been successful and effective. Players like Milanović, Gliha, Kovačič, Barborič, Radovič, and Gabrovec are becoming key elements of our team with increasing minutes. We see them as the future of the club, which aligns with our vision.”
Despite the modest results, Sašo Udovič emphasizes that Krka’s vision remains unchanged: “The long-term vision of NK Krka remains unchanged. It’s important to note that all our younger selections play at the highest level. Poor results in the autumn part of the season don’t affect the club’s plans or goals for the future, including infrastructure improvements and obtaining necessary licenses. Only certain adjustments are needed.”
