Recent developments in Slovenian football include significant coaching changes and unexpected results in the Pivovarna Union Cup.

Zoran Zeljković has been appointed as the head coach of NK Celje, moving from FC Koper for a reported compensation fee of approximately 300,000 euros. This transition resulted in the departure of Koper’s entire coaching staff.

In cup competition, third-tier side Korotan Prevalje secured an upset victory against NK Maribor. Following this defeat, NK Maribor is focusing on tactical preparations for an upcoming match against Aluminij, who recently achieved a 10-2 victory over Mura. NK Maribor officials noted that while the team atmosphere has become more serious following the loss, players remain focused on their league position.
