Miran Pavlin (born 8 October 1971) is a former Slovenian football player and current director of football in FC Koper.

Club career

He played for clubs such as NK Olimpija, SC Freiburg (Germany), Olympiakos Nicosia (Cyprus), APOEL (Cyprus), FC Porto (Portugal) and NK 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 Euro 2000.
