Their contribution might not have been as they undoubtedly hoped and primarily desired, but celebration is celebration. And Martin Turk and Tjaš Begić, young Slovenian footballers, have a good reason to celebrate. Their Parma secured promotion two rounds before the end of the regular Serie B season and will once again compete among the Italian elite next season. Parma clinched this in Bari, where a draw was enough for celebration. It ended 1:1, and no players from Slovenia were on the field. Žan Žužek sat on the bench for the hosts, Martin Turk for the visitors, and Tjaš Begić was once again not in the squad.
Both Slovenians, who are also members of the Slovenian under-21 national team, played very little in the 2023/24 season. Martin Turk didn’t make an appearance at all, despite sitting on the reserve bench 35 times. Tjaš Begić, who transferred from Italian third division side Vicenza last year, played in eight matches but didn’t score any goals. Tjaš Begić gained some minutes in the fall, but he only played once in the spring.
What promotion to Serie A means for both Primorci will undoubtedly be interesting to see. However, it’s expected that the “luxurious province” will further strengthen, so it’s not too unrealistic to expect that Parma will try to find a temporary solution for both to secure significantly more playing time. Both were part of transfer rumors in the last winter transfer window, but despite that, they remained at the Ennio Tardini stadium.
