Miran Pavlin (born 8 October 1971 in Kranj) is a retired Slovenian football player.

Club career

He played for clubs such as Olimpija, SC Freiburg, Olympiakos Nicosia, APOEL, FC Porto and Olimpija.

After the original NK Olimpija went bankrupt in 2005, he joined the newly formed NK Bezigrad and successfully took them back to the top tier in record time. After a dispute in 2009, he left the club and joined FC Koper on a combined player-director of football contract. In his first season with Koper, he won the Slovenian PrvaLiga. His second season there started poorly – after a resounding 5–1 defeat away to NK 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 NK Rudar Velenje. Soon, after another dispute with club leadership regarding player signings and departures, he left the club altogether.

International career

Pavlin made 65 appearances for the senior Slovenia national football team.[1] He was a participant at the 2002 FIFA World Cup[2] and UEFA Euro 2000. 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.[3]

Personal life

Luka Pavlin, who is also a footballer, is his nephew.
