Nogometni Klub - Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Kras is an Italian, amateur football club located in the Repen (Rupingrande) village, in the district of Monrupino, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The base of the club is the Slovene community that populate the Friuli region. Kras was founded in 1986, on the basis of the Olimpija club, from Gabrovizza, which played in the Terza Categoria of Italian football. Olimpija then became the Circolo Sportivo Kras in Sgonico, and in 1986 it officially became Football Club Kras. [ [http://www.slosport.org/ital/elsoc/krasnk.html NK KRAS - Cenni storici] - slosport.org] The club currently plays in the Promozione (Girone Friulano B) league competition of Italian football. In two seasons, starting in 2004–05, they progressed from the Seconda Categoria on to the Promozione level, where in the 2006–07 season they finished in fourth place. The owner and main sponsor of the club is the Koimpex company. The president of the club is Domenico Centrone, and the sporting director is Goran Kocman–whose father, Vojko Kocman, runs Koimpex. The club, from May 2007 is coached by the former Soviet Union and Belarus international player, Sergei Aleinikov. The contact with Aleinikov was made due to Koimpex's work with companies in Belarus. [ [http://www.settimanasportiva.it/index/it/news.show/articolo.html?sku=73 Sergei Aleinikov] - settimanasportiva.it ] Aleinikov signed a one year contract, and his main task is to gain promotion to the Eccellenza division. His son, Artur, (born 1991), joined the team as well. He is a U.S. Lecce youth team product-the school where his father was once a coach.
