The youth team of Mura has already welcomed its third new coach this season, and interestingly, none of the changes were due to poor results. Matjaž Kek Junior departed because he became an assistant to Anton Žlogar, while Darjan Slavić left to take over at Radomlje. In the 2023/24 season, the helm of Mura’s youth team, which is competing for the championship in the Eon NextGen League, will be held by a foreigner. The black-and-white leadership has opted for a Slovakian: the youth team of the Prekmurje club will be taken over by Marian Sluka.
Marian Sluka is a 44-year-old coach who was last employed in Hungary, where he managed the third division club Dorogi. He left the club last summer. Prior to that, he coached the Szentlorinc SE club for two years, and he has also worked in Slovenia, serving as the coach of Lendava’s Nafta. He has also worked with young players at ZTE, where he was also the coach of the under-19 team.
Before his coaching career, Marian Sluka was a relatively successful footballer, playing for two years for the Latvian giant Skonto from Riga, and he also spent some time proving himself in Hungary.
“For me, this is a huge challenge, as I know the kind of club I am coming to and the tradition that Mura has. I want to help the club achieve its goals set in the youth selection. The team has been playing very well lately, still in the race for the title, and I believe I can contribute with my knowledge on this path. A good result in the younger selections is also very important for young footballers. I really like the way things are done in Mura, where players progress through the football school to the extent that they can then compete for a place in the first team,” said Marian Sluka for the club’s website.
