Simon Sešlar leaves Celje’s bench, but the club’s youth from the capital hasn’t woken up yet: Štajerska defeated in Dolenjska this time

On Monday, the last match of the 9. round of the Eon NextGen Youth League, Brinje Grosuplje and Celje clashed. Although the Štajerska were among the favourites to top the standings before the start of the season, they are struggling at the start of the season. All this even led to Celje being without a coach. A few days ago, Simon Sešlar, a former Slovenian national team player who was absent from the Celje bench for the last two matches, said goodbye. This time he was replaced by Marko Gobec, the professional manager of the youth team, who did not find a recipe how to wake up the quality, but apparently rather “sleepy” Celje team.
