Ilija Martinović, a 26-year-old Montenegrin footballer, became a player of the best Slovenian club.

Martinović signed a three-year contract with the club, which was the champion of Slovenia 15 times, played twice in the group stage of the Champions League and the Europa League.

He played in Aluminij for the previous three seasons and was one of the best defenders in the Slovenian league. In Montenegro, he performed for Lovćen.

"I played three seasons for Alumunij, so I won't have any major problems in adapting, because I know a lot of players. Here I matured as a player, and I'm looking forward to a new challenge. I've made many difficult decisions in my career, but this one was easy. Maribor is a brand, a big club, behind which there is a great tradition. I came for big things and I am ready to contribute to the achievement of the goals, which are always big here," Martinović emphasized.

He received useful advice from Marko Janković.

"Janković is my friend since childhood, he played here and told me a lot of nice things," added Martinović.
