Otranto's players are halfway to returning to the elite - they finished the fall in first place in the Meridianbet 2nd CFL with two points more than Grbalj, five more than Kom, seven more than Rudar...
The Ulcinj team began preparations for the second part of the season today, in which they will try to finish the job.
Brazilian midfielder Augusto Chagas, a well-known face among Montenegrin coaches, a former player for Decic, Sutjeska, Bokelj, Arsenal and Petrovac, who spent last fall in Kuwait's Al Shabaab, could help them with that.
"Sadik Škrijelj has also arrived from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a former player of TOŠK from Tešanj, who previously played for Zrinjski. He plays on the wing. He and Čagas are reinforcements, Pepić and Nišavić have left, the situation regarding one or two more players needs to be resolved and that's it - I think we have a good playing staff and enough football to meet our goals in the spring," said Otranto coach Nedeljko Vlahović.
The football players were addressed in front of the club on the eve of the first training session in 2026 by president Skendo Redža and board member Aslan Lunji.
The Ulcinj team will spend their entire preparations in their own city, where they will have good conditions to prepare and good sparring partners.
The fight for the elite is not the only challenge awaiting them in the spring, as they advanced to the semifinals of the Cup, rounding off a great autumn.
"We are halfway to the goal - we want to keep first place and try to qualify directly for the elite, and as for the Cup, Kuo, that comes as a reward. The first league teams are the favorites, but we will try, why not," said Vlahović, who won the Cup trophy as a football player with Rudar.
Besides Otranto, Mornar, Dečić and Jezero advanced to the semifinals.
