Pelister and Napredok have, intentionally or as a coincidence, exchanged several players and even the managers.
We have already announced that Dragan Bocheski takes over Pelister as manager, and yesterday it was revealed that former Pelister manager Gordan Zdravkov will lead Napredok in the upcoming season.
This is not the only exchange as goalkeeper Pashovski is now part of Pelister, while another keeper – Korunovski has left Pelister and moved to Kichevo. Toni Veljanoski also returns to Napredok from Pelister, while although Riste Markoski was Pelister and Bocheski’s wish, he did not opted for Pelister and remains in Napredok.
Pelister also got Metodija Stepanovski from Renova, who now returns to his first club, as well as Petar Ljamchevski and Gjorgji Mojsov. The Bitola based club presented another signing in the Brasilian Stênio Marcos da Fonseca Salazar Júnior who is loaned from Bulgarian side Litex.
Besides the aforementioned Korunovski and Veljanoski, Pelister has also released Stefan Maglovski, Blagojche Ruteski, Sashko Lazarevski, Adrian Rusell Kekec, Toni Meglenski while Simeon Hristov’s loan has ended, and Dragan Dimitrovski has retired.
