I enjoyed the daily work, and I must commend the boys for their dedication, attitude towards training, and fulfilling their obligations. I wish them a successful continuation of the season in the league and during their participation in the UEFA Youth League. A big thank you for the successful story also goes to my colleagues in the coaching staff and everyone in the club. From day one, we collaborated excellently and concluded our project in the same manner. When I received the offer from Domžale and expressed my desire to return to senior top-flight football, NK Maribor as a club showed greatness, understanding, and approved my departure, for which I sincerely thank the management,“” said Dejan Dončić upon his farewell from Ljudski vrt for the club’s website.
