In his younger years, he was part of the Green Dragons, later winning the national championship with Olimpija and fulfilling childhood dreams. However, after being “exiled” from Olimpija, Nejc Vidmar found new life challenges on the other side of Ljubljana. Specifically, east of the city center, in Kodeljevo, the home of Slovan.
Months ago, Nejc Vidmar moved to Slovan as a player but didn’t play many matches during the fall. Nevertheless, this doesn’t imply inactivity at Kodeljevo. The legendary goalkeeper joined the managerial structure of the former top-flight team currently competing in the 3rd Slovenian National League (3. SNL). “Nejc isn’t just part of our senior team, but also a crucial member of Slovan’s football school coaching staff. He actively contributes and assists both the senior team and younger players. His experience and passion for football are more than welcome in our Slovan school,” Slovan described his role.
Nejc Vidmar also discussed his goals, plans, and most importantly, the desires he has brought to his work at Slovan. The former Slovenian national team player wants to assist his new club on the path to former glory.
Nejc Vidmar: “I Truly Desire This”
“We all know what Slovan means in Slovenian football. That’s why I chose it for a new start in my football career. The vision is clear: to help Slovan regain its former position. To be once again a driving force in Slovenian football, particularly in the youth academy and younger selections. That’s my goal, my vision. I truly desire this. To see the club return to its old ways,” explained 34-year-old Nejc Vidmar, who previously played for Mura before joining Kodeljevo.
Nejc Vidmar believes that the high aspirations of the club, which has in the past produced numerous top footballers, are achievable. He emphasized, “The aim is to return to the top leagues, but we’ll be most pleased if we see some of our players back in the national team. Like, for example, we see Peter Stojanović now, proving that you can go far from these fields.”
