Where did Nino Pungaršek disappear to after leaving Olimpija? Austria’s Corsican is doing well, promotion to higher rank is on the cards
From national champions to playing in the fourth league in three years? Anything is possible in football. This is the story of a footballer who was until recently a member of the
Celje
and
Olimpija
but now kicks the ball far from the public eye. After leaving Ljubljana, Nino Pungaršek found refuge in Voitsberg, a town of just under 10,000 inhabitants in Austria, home to a football club called ASK Voitsberg. It was founded in 1921, but has never been among the best in the country. Today is no different.
But ASK Voitsberg is still in for some football fun this year. The club is doing well in the fourth league. He is currently in first place, and Nino Pungaršek is also a big contributor to the good results.
The midfielder, who has had a lot of problems with serious injuries in the past, played 14 games for his Austrian club this season, scoring once. In the 14 games he played, Nino Pungaršek won 11 times. The last one was last weekend, when ASK Voitberg defeated SC Stadtwerke Bruck/Mur 3:2 away.The 27-year-old Slovenian started the match in the starting eleven and stayed on the pitch for just under 70 minutes.
The top scorer is Slovenian
ASK Voitsberg are now seven points ahead of Mettersdorf at the top of the Landesliga Steiermark standings and twelve points ahead of Lebring. Timotej Polanc, a 25-year-old former Slovenian national youth player, is also playing for Mettersdorf and is the league’s top scorer with 12 goals. His teammates are Gal Ribič, Jan Ljubec, Gregor Zelko, Jernej Trstenjak and Gregor Furek.
