Maribor announced in the evening that the trial was successful and that Etienne Beugre will become a full-fledged member of the team. The 23-year-old forward from the Ivory Coast will play for the first time on the old continent, coming with an effective track record from his home country. He played thirteen games for AS Denguele in the local top-flight competition in the first half of the season, scoring seven goals.
“I am happy to have signed the contract; I thank everyone in the club. Teammates and coaches have helped me a lot in these days, as it was not easy to change the environment. I came directly from the Ivory Coast to Turkey, fought as hard as I could, and earned a contract. I will do everything to justify the trust and show what I am capable of. I had some offers from Africa and Europe, but I decided to take the challenge in Maribor when I got all the information about the club. After the joint days during preparations, it turned out that I made the right decision. I like the team’s style of play, which aims for possession and wants to play. I want to contribute my share with the goal of helping to improve the game and achieve common success. The initial adaptation and communication were facilitated by Jug, Repas, and Soudani, who speak French, making it easier for me to understand the coach’s instructions and accept the things that go with it. Now I just want to get all the necessary permits in my home country as soon as possible and finally join my teammates in Maribor,” said Beugre after reaching the agreement. He received his first invitation to one of the youth national teams of the Ivory Coast but declined, as accepting it would have meant giving up the opportunity for a trial due to the timing.
Instead of participating in the national team action in Dubai, he headed to Belek, which paid off, as he became the new member of NK Maribor. He will wear the number 13 on the back of the purple jersey.
