The NK Maribor Post
Match15 Aug 2026
NK Maribor run riot against NK Zavrc
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Both of them Hilal Soudani's — 9.22
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.22, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

NK Maribor bid $4.8M for Rafita
The offer went to Málaga this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

NK Maribor rebuffed over David Kalokoh
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ajax have kept their man, and NK Maribor go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Jan Mlakar runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

No deal for Aljaž Zalaznik at that price
NK Maribor offered $96.0K; Koper said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

A falling-out at NK Maribor
Petar Stojanović and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Ninety minutes of Dario Vizinger at his very best
Marked 8.01. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at NK Maribor.

Benjamin Tetteh falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
In brief
- Squad Too much change too quickly at NK Maribor
- Squad This league is too small for Robert Berić
- Market ND Gorica are about to pick up the phone
