The club’s plans for the upcoming season were detailed during a press conference featuring Vitor Campelos, the Portuguese coach, the club’s new captain, Mark Zabukovnik, and President Valerij Kolotilo. During the briefing, Coach Campelos outlined the high expectations for the team as they prepare for the competitive season. He acknowledged the strength of the opposition, naming rivals such as Bravo and Koper.
While recognizing that Olimpija and Maribor are established title contenders, Campelos expressed confidence in the squad’s ability to challenge for the championship on equal terms. He stated that the club’s primary objective remains becoming champions, noting the historical precedent of Celje not achieving consecutive title wins. These sentiments were echoed by Captain Zabukovnik, who returned to play after recovering from an injury.
Zabukovnik confirmed that the team underwent thorough preparation, noting that the squad is now fully assembled, enhanced by several new additions. The club leadership emphasized that the focus moving forward is maintaining momentum and achieving championship success. The immediate focus for the players is on their first match of the new campaign, scheduled for Friday.
The combined statements from the coaching staff and the captain projected a highly ambitious outlook for the team as they commence their efforts to secure the title.
