NK Varaždin played 36 rounds in the HNL during the 2025/26 season. The team finished eighth in the standings with 40 points. Mladenovski, who was 27 that season, is a regular member of the defence. His two red cards meant he missed a number of minutes due to suspension.
Currently, according to our data, the squad is preparing for the new season. The first match in HNL 2026/27 against HNK Gorica is scheduled for July 19th. Check the full schedule on the fixtures page.
Discipline will be an important factor for success in the upcoming campaign. Mladenovski is a key player in defence, and his presence on the pitch is of great importance. Alongside him, the team in defence also relies heavily on experienced captain Bojan Knežević.
NK Varaždin will hope to reduce the number of dismissals to maintain competitiveness in the league. The next challenge for the Whites is an away trip to Gorica to start the season.
