Although the golden years of his career are long gone, Nejc Pečnik has not tired of football. The former Slovenian international, who also participated in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, bid farewell to his hometown club Dravograd at the end of the previous season and will now prove himself abroad once again. However, Nejc Pečnik will be playing far from the spotlight: he has reached an agreement to collaborate with a lesser-known club in Austria.
Nejc Pečnik, who is now 38 years old, has joined the ranks of the club ASC St. Paul, where his compatriots Aljoša Gluhovič and Jan Razgoršek already play. ASC St. Paul competes in the seventh Austrian league, which, of course, means that Pečnik is in for a slightly more serious form of recreation in the future. But football is football; there is no league where playing could be simple…
Experienced Nejc Pečnik played 17 matches and scored 5 goals in the previous season in the 3rd SNL, and before that, he played for Celje in his homeland. He spent most of his career abroad, playing for Prague Sparta, Portuguese Nacional, Russian club Krylia Sovetov, and English Sheffield Wednesday. He also played in Japan with JEF United, Omiya Ardija, and Tochigi. In Austria, he already kicked the ball in 2021 as a member of SC Eibiswald.
