In the 2024/25 season, Ascoli also began their campaign, playing their opening match in the Coppa Italia Serie C. This competition features Italian third-tier teams, and Ascoli faced A.S. Gubbio 1910 in the first round. The hosts celebrated a 2-1 victory, aided by a Slovenian player. Aljaž Tavčar played from start to finish for Ascoli, performing well in defense and earning high ratings among the winning team’s players.
It is noteworthy that 23-year-old Aljaž Tavčar donned Ascoli’s senior team jersey for the first time in over a year. Last summer, a severe knee injury halted his progress. Although he had played for the youth team post-recovery, this match marked his return to the main stage. It had been more than 12 months since his injury. “375 days later…” Tavčar revealed on Instagram, sharing how long it took for his return and posting a photo from the match.
The 194 cm tall Slovenian defender signed with Ascoli three years ago and is contracted to the club for another 24 months. Before moving to Italy, he played for Bravo, Ilirija, and Bilje in Slovenia. So far, he has made only three appearances for Ascoli. The injury disrupted what was supposed to be his breakthrough season, delaying his progress by a year. Now, the young player is ready for new challenges, which is, of course, the most important thing.
