Miran Pavlin

Miran Pavlin (born 8 October 1971) is a Slovenian football executive and former player who played as midfielder.

[2] In 2009, Pavlin joined FC Koper on a combined player-director of football contract.

His second season there started poorly – after a resounding 5–1 defeat away to Dinamo Zagreb in UEFA Champions League qualifiers, he announced his immediate retirement, only to return to the Koper team a week later for a single league match against Rudar Velenje.

Pavlin made 63 appearances for the senior Slovenia national team between 1994 and 2004, scoring five goals.

During the second leg of Slovenia's Euro 2000 play-off against Ukraine, it was Pavlin's goal which secured a 1–1 draw and an aggregate victory to send Slovenia to their first major tournament.
