“Miha is meant to reinforce our defence. We have a long season ahead of us, plenty of matches to play. He is an experienced footballer with many appearances in the national team and European competitions. In the past, he competed for clubs such as Ferencvárosi. We have signed Miha from the French league,” explained Lech’s Sporting Director, Tomasz Rząsa. “We are happy about the transfer and we are hoping for great performances [from Blažič],” added Rząsa.

It’s a big step in my career and I am glad to be here,” highlighted Lech’s new player. “The people, the city, everything that happens here – I have had positive experiences only ever since I arrived,” added Blažič.
