The 2010–11 season was NK Maribor's 51st season of football and its 20th consecutive season in the Slovenian PrvaLiga, Slovenian top division, since the league was created in 1991 with Maribor as one of the founding members. The club started and finished the season with Darko Milanič as a head coach and were crowned as the league champions for the ninth time. They were also runners up of the Slovenian cup and supercup.

The club began their league campaign in astonishing fashion as they won a total of 37 points in their first 15 matches, during which time they were undefeated. This set the new all time league record for the best start of the season, previously held by Domžale (35 points).

Season review

The team played its opening match of the seasons in a Supercup final on 9 July 2010, when they lost against Koper after penalties (5–4).[1] The score after regulation was 0–0.[1] Maribor qualified to the final as a Slovenian Cup winner of the previous season. Traditionally, the Supercup final is played on a home stadium of the Slovenian champions, however, this season it was played in Maribor, due to the construction of a new stadium in Koper at the time.[1]

Maribor players celebrating the club's ninth league title

During their Europa League campaign the club had a solid run and played a total of six matches in the competition.[2] Their record was four wins, one draw and one defeat in matches against Videoton, Hibernian and Palermo.[2] The team did particularly well on home field at the Ljudski vrt stadium as they recorded three wins in three matches with a goal difference of 9–2.[2] However, that was not enough for progression as their only defeat came in the first leg of the play-off round against Palermo (3–0).[3] In the second leg Maribor was winning against the Italian side 2–0 after 60 minutes of play, however, the match eventually finished with a 3–2 home victory which was not enough to progress into the main stage of the competition.[4] After the match it was announced that Palermo had acquired Josip Iličić and Armin Bačinović, two of the top players during the club's Europa league campaign.[5]

The club did extremely well during the 2010–11 PrvaLiga season as the team was on the league's top position after every round of the season, except after week two when they were second.[6] Maribor was undefeated in the league up until the 21st round in March, 2011, when they were defeated at home, by Gorica (3–1).[6] Before that the team's score in the first 20 rounds was 14 wins and six draws.[6] Eventually the team won their ninth league title with 75 points, eight more than second placed Domžale.[7] Marcos Tavares, team captain, was the league's best scorer with 16 goals.[8] In addition he was the club's best scorer during the season with 21 goals in all competitions. Tavares was also voted as the best player of the season by the players,[9] the media[10] and the fans. He scored one goal in the 2010–11 Cup season where the team reached the final that was played in late May, 2011, on Stožice stadium in Ljubljana against Domžale.[11] In a spectacular match, which ended with the score 4–3 after 90 minutes, Domžale prevailed and won their first ever Slovenian cup title.[11] With the 2010–11 Slovenian league title the club has won its 16th major title in its 20th season in Slovenian football.[12]
