Rabotnicki had a miserable fall, winning only seven points in 16 league matches. The team from Debar Maalo ended the first part of the season with only one win and four draws, and felt the bitterness of defeat 11 times.
They started the season early, appearing in the Conference League qualifiers and immediately suffered two defeats and elimination. However, no one expected that many poor games and results would follow in the championship.
Bojan Markoski, who succeeded Goran Stanić, quickly left the coaching position, and the Turkish strategist Alparslan Erdem who replaced him did not bring any significant changes either.
The third coach this season is Serbian Alen Tupajic. He led Rabotnicki in the last three rounds and recorded three defeats. However, he hopes that the team, with a complete reorganization in the winter transfer window, will record much better results in the spring. That is what they must do if they want to avoid the worst, relegation from the elite club.
"I inherited a team that had many problems, both in terms of players and results. Of course, we are not satisfied with what we have achieved, I will talk about my short period at the helm of Rabotnicki. But I also came because the team was not doing well before. And a small progress was visible in the game, but in vain when the results were three defeats again. Maybe the second half against Shkendija in Tetovo was a sign that this team can play much better. In any case, Rabotnicki is a big brand of Macedonian football, it will have to reorganize well during this winter break and in the spring it will have to play much better, and most importantly – to win and gain points. Only in this way will we be able to achieve our goal, which in this case is survival in the elite," said Alen Tupajic.
