On Saturday, Tolmin will also play its opening match of the new season in the 2. SNL, facing a regional derby at the Športni park Brajda. The red-and-blacks will host Bilje, a club that was previously managed by Tolmin’s new coach Jani Šturm last season. Both clubs are somewhat unknown due to changes in the coaching staff, with Tolmin being more of an unknown since they have brought in several intriguing new signings. Just before the season opener, Tolmin introduced veteran Aris Zarifović to the fans, and this week, his new teammate is also Kalani Almeida.
The 22-year-old winger from Brazil, who also holds a Portuguese passport, arrived in Slovenia last September after leaving Atletico MG and signing with Gorica in Nova Gorica. In his first season in the land of the sunny side of the Alps, he played 27 matches, scoring 4 goals. Despite some solid and impressive performances, the club in the border town decided, after significant personnel changes, to let him move elsewhere.
Kalani Almeida, who was once a Brazilian internet sensation and had a release clause of 50 million euros, took advantage of his contract expiring with Gorica and found a new employer, as mentioned, in Tolmin, which is 40 kilometers away, where they will play in the 2. SNL for the second consecutive season.
