The NK Zavrc Chronicle
Squad3 Aug 2026
Tadej Trajkovski stands alone
29 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Match1 Aug 2026
Nowhere to hide for NK Zavrc
0‑14 against Olimpija Ljubljana, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

A move Stian Džumhur would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Stian Džumhur is living that version at NK Zavrc, and it tends to show in the first month.

Marcel Koren signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marcel Koren commits to NK Zavrc for another 3 years.

Words exchanged at NK Zavrc
Žan Leban and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match1 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
14 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about NK Zavrc and Olimpija Ljubljana in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Door shut on Lanej Bakšič
NK Zavrc asked and NK Maribor said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The dugout3 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Alen Cimerman
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Boardroom3 Aug 2026
Nobody left the NK Zavrc dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
In brief
- Market Rok Frešer signs for NK Zavrc to fix the gap everybody could see
- Market Still no ink between NK Zavrc and Filip Valenčič
- The dugout Nejc Balkovec faces the questions
