Shortest Reign in History? Mišo Brečko Out as Olimpija Coach Following Poor Start
NK Olimpija Ljubljana have once again demonstrated their lack of patience. After only two rounds of the 2026/27 Prva Liga Telemach season, head coach Mišo Brečko is leaving the club by mutual agreement. The decision comes after a disastrous start that left many fans wondering about the long-term vision of the club’s management.
Zero Points, Zero Goals
Expectations were high when Brečko took over the Dragons this summer, but the results on the pitch tell a different story. Olimpija opened the season with a 0-2 loss to NK Bravo and followed it up with a lackluster 0-1 defeat against Mura. With zero points and zero goals scored, the club finds itself in an unfamiliar position at the very bottom of the league standings.
In a formal statement, the club management expressed that the performance did not meet the standards required for a title contender. "We need immediate stability and results. Unfortunately, we felt that a change was necessary now to save our season before the gap at the top becomes too large," the club representatives noted.
Brečko: "Two Games Are Not Enough"
Mišo Brečko did not hide his frustration regarding the sudden exit. Speaking to the media, the former national team player emphasized that building a new system takes time, which he clearly wasn't given. "It is hard to speak about a 'project' when you are judged after 180 minutes of football," Brečko said. He also hinted at internal disagreements regarding the club's transfer policy and overall direction.
What's Next for the Dragons?
Rumors are already circulating about a potential successor. While the club prepares for their next fixture, local reports suggest that the management is looking for an experienced foreign coach who can handle the pressure of the Ljubljana spotlight. Names like Jugoslav Trenčovski have been mentioned in sports circles, but an official announcement is still pending.
For the Green-and-Whites, the clock is ticking. With a vocal fan base demanding success and a squad that looks low on confidence, the new coach will have a mountain to climb to bring Olimpija back to where they believe they belong.
