Muro was left when Ante Šimundža was the coach there, Maribor is being left when Ante Šimundža is the coach there now… Well, Ante Šimundža and Aljaž Antolin truly aren’t destined for each other… The young midfielder, who had been a member of Maribor since the summer of 2021, has expectedly bid farewell to Ljudski vrt, but he didn’t move to Domžale, who were also interested in him. Aljaž Antolin has entered into an agreement with Muro, bringing back the lost son to their ranks.
“Feelings are mixed. Farewells, understandably, are never pleasant, but I tried to leave the best possible mark during my time playing in purple. Maribor provided me with a lot; I got the opportunity to play in the starting eleven and through club games gained the status of a young national team player. We became champions in my first season, then played numerous European games. What will undoubtedly remain in my memory is Marcos Tavares’ farewell match when I scored a goal in front of a full Ljudski vrt in an atmosphere that is still difficult to describe in words,” Aljaž Antolin said upon leaving Maribor, as reported on the club’s website.

“In the autumn part of this season, unfortunately, I didn’t get many opportunities, but I will remember mainly the positive moments, and overall Maribor remains a pleasant memory for me. Fate had it that after eight years at Mura, I moved to Maribor, and now I am returning. It’s a mental shift; I’m happy that we have reached an agreement to everyone’s satisfaction, and I will start the next chapter in a familiar environment with new motivation,” added the 21-year-old Aljaž Antolin.
