After searching for his place in the football world for some time, it’s now clear that Žan Medved has finally found it. The 25-year-old former prospect of Ljubljana’s Olimpija is thriving in Slovakia, once again enjoying football and impressing on the pitch. This season, Medved has played 7 matches and scored 5 goals for Košice, and his strong performances have earned him further recognition—he’s been named the best footballer of the opening month of the Slovak league season.
“It’s certainly a great feeling to be rewarded with such an honor. I’m happy that my performances were noticed and that I was chosen as the player of the month. Of course, this isn’t just my achievement; my teammates also contributed to this. I’m grateful and really appreciate it,” said the former Slovenian youth international, who has also played for Celje and previously donned the jersey of Slovak giant Slovan. Medved even scored a goal against Slovan on his way to earning this latest recognition.
It’s worth mentioning that this is the second time Medved has been named player of the month in Slovakia since joining Košice, with his first accolade coming last December. The Slovenian footballer will aim to continue his fine form on Saturday, when Košice take on Žilina, the former club of Dare Vršič, who are currently in excellent form, having recently thrashed Slovan 5-0 in an away match earlier this September.
