Delhi Dynamos sign ISL winner Rene Mihelic from Chennaiyin FC
The NK Maribor youth product is also the youngest player to feature for Slovenia at international level at the age of 19.
Delhi Dynamos have today completed the signing of Slovenian playmaker Rene Mihelic on a one-year contract.
Rene played a pivotal role in the ISL title-winning campaign of Chennaiyin FC last season as he notched up two goals and four assists in his 14 appearances with the club. The Slovenian’s ability to cause havoc from dead-ball situations made him a vital cog in the South Indian side’s impressive run till the very end.
“Mihelic is a player we had identified from the start because he offers a lot both from dead ball situations and from open play. His creativity from the midfield will add extra quality for us when going forward. He is a motivated player who wants to build on his past success,” Dynamos Head Coach Josep Gombau said.

The midfielder has also featured for Hungarian giants Debrecen and Israeli outfit Hapoel Ra’anana.
“I want to thank Dynamos and coach Gombau for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. I’ve played against them in the past and this is a team that is determined and hard to break so I am excited to have joined a fantastic group of players and staff,” Mihelic said.
