The 2011–12 season is NK Maribor's 52nd season of football and its 21st consecutive season in Slovenian PrvaLiga, Slovenian top division, since the league was created in 1991 with Maribor as one of the league's founding members. The club started the season with Darko Milanič as head coach.

Supercup

For more details on this topic, see 2011 Slovenian Supercup.

The 2011 Slovenian Supercup was the seventh edition of Slovenian Supercup, an annual football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Slovenian PrvaLiga and Slovenian Cup competitions. The match was played on 8 July, 2011, in Ljudski vrt stadium between 2010–11 Slovenian PrvaLiga winners Maribor and 2010–11 Slovenian Cup winners Domžale. Both teams contested for their second Supercup title.[1] The match was played by the best two teams of the 2010–11 season. During the course of that season Maribor was a league champion with Domžale being the only serious contender through most of the season, eventually finishing as runners up.[2] The two teams were the only ones in the league that earned 20 or more victories, with Maribor achieving 21 and Domžale 20.[2] In addition, both teams were part of the Slovenian cup final, held on Stožice stadium in Ljubljana and won by Domžale with the score 4–3 after regulation.[3] The match is arguably one of the best cup finals ever held, since the competition was first introduced during the 1991–92 season.[3]

Domžale won the 2011 Slovenian Supercup with the score 2–1 after regulation and became the most successful team in history of the competition as the only club with more than one victory.[4] This was the second consecutive victory for Domžale over Maribor in domestic cup finals in five weeks, after winning the Slovenian cup in May 2011.[4] Controversies arose at the end of the match as Zlatko Zahovič, Maribor's director of football, publicly stated that Maribor was not allowed to win and was disappointed with some of the main referee's decisions in second half, especially the one in 82nd minute when a clear penalty[5][6] was not ruled in favour of his club.[7] Maribor later made an official press statement expressing their concerns with the referees regarding the club's upcoming league season.[8]

July–September

Maribor began their campaign at Ljudski vrt stadium on 16 July against Gorica, with Aleš Mertelj captaining his side after the absence of Marcos Tavares.[9] A header from Aris Zarifović in the 67th minute put Gorica ahead but the home side responded late in the second half with the goals from Etien Velikonja and Dejan Mezga, which were enough for the first win of the season.[2] The team faced Nafta in their first away match of the season with Slovenia international goalkeeper, Jasmin Handanović, between the posts for the first time after his signing with the club.[10] A late goal in the 88th minute from Nafta was merely a consolation, as Maribor was at the time already leading with two goals difference and the match eventually finished with the score 2–1.[10] The result was identical in the next round when Maribor defeated Rudar Velenje at home, with all three goals being scored in the final twenty minutes of the game.[11] The club's good form continued in their next away match against Triglav as they achieved their fourth straight 2011–12 victory (2–0)[12] and topped the league table for the first time of the season.[13] During the next round their run was stopped with a goaless home draw against the two times champions, Domžale.[14] In the week that followed Maribor played another home match, this time against their rivals Mura 05. The team proved to be too strong against the visiting side, a team that played in the second division during the previous season, and comfortably won the derby with the score 6–0.[15] Dalibor Volaš, Etien Velikonja and Agim Ibraimi each scored two goals.[16] Days later club legend Ante Šimundža left the club and became the head coach of Mura 05.[17] Saša Gajser replaced Šimundža as an assistant coach at Maribor.[17] Immediately after their victory over Mura 05 the team traveled to Edinbourgh where they faced Scottish champions Rangers in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League play-offs. The match in Scotland ended with a score 1–1 and Maribor proceded to the next round with the score 3–2 on aggregate, thus becoming the first Slovenian club that qualified to the group stages of the Europa League. They were on the road again less than 72 hours after the historic night when they faced their "eternal" rivals Olimpija, the team considered as Maribor's main contender for the 2011–12 title, at the Stožice Stadium in Ljubljana. Unrecognizable during the first half Maribor went down by three goals at halftime and was unable to turn the result back in their favour. Eventually they lost the game 4–1 and sustained their first league defeat of the season.[18] In addition, this was the first loss for Maribor after 17 consecutive league rounds without defeat (2 April 2011 vs FC Koper). Due to the international break at the start of September it was almost two weeks before the next round was played. A timeout well needed by the club that played two matches per week for the better part of the season. After the break Maribor bounced back with another home victory, 5–2 against Celje.[19] In the ninth round they salvaged a point against Koper who took the lead twice during the match. The final score at Bonifika stadium was 2–2.[20] After the first quarter of the season Maribor was on first place, with three point lead over Olimpija.[21] Poor form continued when the club won only one point in matches against Gorica (1–1) and Nafta (2–0). The loss against the side from Lendava was the first home league defeat since 16 March 2011 when Maribor was defeated 1–0, by Nafta, at the Ljudski vrt stadium.

Qualified as the 2010–11 Slovenian PrvaLiga champions, Maribor started their European campaign in the second qualifying round of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League against Dudelange from Luxembourg, a team that advanced through the first qualifying round with a 4–0 aggregate victory over Santa Coloma.[22] The first match between Maribor and Dudelange was played in Ljudski vrt stadium and won by Maribor with the score 2–0; Arghus and Ibraimi were the goalscorers.[23] Seven days later the team played a rematch with the Luxembourg side and comfortably achieved another victory (3–1), thus qualifying to the next round.[24] They then faced Israeli Premier League champions Maccabi Haifa, in the first meeting in European competitions between Maribor and a team from Israel.[25] The match was lost 3–2 on aggregate, relegating Maribor to the Play-off round of the UEFA Europa League, where they faced a home draw against Scottish Premier League champions Rangers.[26]

It was the second time in European competitions that Maribor played against Rangers as the two clubs have faced each other during the 2001–02 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, when the side from Glasgow easily prevailed with the score 6–1 aggregate.[27] One decade later the two teams met in a crucial two-legged qualifiers that would determine which club will advance into group stage of the UEFA Europa League. First leg was played at the Ljudski vrt stadium in Maribor and after suffering by a goal deficit at halftime, the home side turned the score around with two goals in the second to win the match 2–1.[28] Maribor's second goal of the night came from a superb back-heel kick by Etien Velikonja during the final seconds of injury time.[28] It later turned out that the goal from Velikonja was decisive as the second leg at Ibrox Stadium finished with the score 1–1.[29] Maribor thus qualified to the group stages of the UEFA Europa League for the first time in their history.[30] The match in Scotland was played on 25 August, the same date as the one exactly twelve years earlier when Maribor defeated Lyon and qualified to the elite UEFA Champions League.[31]
