In the fifth episode of the club podcast Zmajkom, we hosted Aleksander Knavs – former Olimpija player, Slovenian international and defender who played against the biggest stars of world football.

Host Rok Brstovšek spoke with Aleksander about his football journey, which is considered an example of successful development, but as he says himself, it wouldn’t have been possible without a bit of luck at key moments.

Knavs recalled his time at Olimpija, revealed what it was like to play against the biggest names in football, and spoke candidly about his international career and the behind-the-scenes of top-level football. A special part of the conversation is also dedicated to his 15-year absence from the media. Why he was away and how he experienced that period.
