Slovenian Volleyball Player Nik Mujanović Signs with Italian Club Modena

Slovenian national volleyball team player Nik Mujanović is set to return to Italy, signing a contract with Valso Group Modena for the 2026/27 season. This move will see the 21-year-old opposite player compete in Italy's top Serie A1 league and the CEV Challenge Cup.

Mujanović is currently with the Slovenian national team in China, preparing for the Volleyball Nations League, which begins June 10-14. His career path has seen him develop from his early days at Calcit Volley Kamnik in Slovenia. He first moved abroad to play for Italy's Monza in the 2023/24 season, followed by a stint in France.

In France, he played for Paris Volley and Stade Poitevin before joining Tours, where he won the French Super Cup and helped the team finish third in the league. His performances have now earned him a coveted spot with Modena, one of Italy's most prestigious volleyball clubs.

I've been abroad for quite some time now, and it's interesting how quickly it all passed. I would say that from my first appearance in the national team until now, I have matured considerably. I always try to work on myself, as I think this is very important – also outside of volleyball. I think I have come quite far on this path, to be a more grown-up, more mature person.

Reflecting on his time abroad, Mujanović noted his personal growth. "I've been abroad for quite some time now, and it's interesting how quickly it all passed," he stated. "I would say that from my first appearance in the national team until now, I have matured considerably. I always try to work on myself, as I think this is very important – also outside of volleyball. I think I have come quite far on this path, to be a more grown-up, more mature person."

In Modena, Mujanović anticipates a different role than his previous experience in Italy. He will be competing against fellow Slovenian Rok Možič, a key player for Verona. "I am very, very excited about the new contract, about this new opportunity that I have received in Modena," Mujanović said. "To be honest, I didn't expect to return to Italy so quickly, to the Italian championship, and to do so in a quite different role than I had in Monza. I am convinced it will be good, and as I say before every new season – new challenges, a new team, new management, and a few changes await me. It will be interesting, and I am very much looking forward to it."
