Jan Mutavčić is one of the young Slovenians who is honing his skills in neighboring Italy. The 16-year-old goalkeeper, previously a member of the Slovenia U16 national team, left his homeland in 2022 when he transferred from Bilje to Udinese. So far, he has played 18 matches in the cadet league in Udine, and has occasionally been part of the youth team’s squad. However, Jan Mutavčić has now temporarily set aside his Udinese gear, as the management of the Serie A club has decided that it would be best for the promising teenager to move to an environment where he can regularly play at the youth level.
As a loaned player, Jan Mutavčić has moved even closer to Slovenia, and in the future, he will showcase his talents in Trieste. He has become the next Slovenian at Triestina, where – as mentioned – he has secured a place in the youth team. The latter competes in the Primavera 3 league, which is the third-strongest competition in Italian youth football.
Interestingly, Jan Mutavčić will not be the only Slovenian goalkeeper in the youth team of the Trieste-based club, as it also includes the year-older Nik Čebulj, a former prospect of Ljubljana’s Olimpija, who can already boast of having sat twice on the bench for Triestina’s senior team.
