Leo Štulac (born 26 September 1994) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Reggiana, on loan from Palermo.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Koper

[edit]

Born in Koper, Štulac started his career at hometown club FC Koper. He made his Slovenian PrvaLiga debut on 2 April 2011, aged 16, in a 3–0 victory against Maribor.[2]

In 2013, Štulac joined third division side Jadran Dekani on loan, where he scored four goals in 13 games.[3]

With Koper, Štulac won the Slovenian Cup during the 2014–15 season and the Slovenian Supercup in 2015.[1]

Venezia

[edit]

On 15 July 2016, Štulac joined the Lega Pro side Venezia. In his first season, he gained promotion to Serie B. He also won the Coppa Italia Lega Pro with the club.[4]

Štulac scored his first Serie B goal on 24 October 2017 in a 2–1 away defeat against Cittadella. On 5 May 2018, he scored the winner in a 2–1 victory against Foggia.[citation needed]

Parma

On 30 June 2018, Štulac signed for Serie A club Parma on a five-year contract.[5]

Empoli

[edit]

On 26 July 2019, Štulac signed with Serie B club Empoli.[6] With Empoli, he won promotion to Serie A in 2021, and played the 2021–22 Serie A with the Tuscanians.

Palermo

[edit]

On 18 August 2022, Štulac was signed by Serie B club Palermo on a loan deal with a mandatory buying option to be exercised on certain conditions.[7]

Štulac's first season with the Rosanero was marred by injuries and was eventually cut short by a serious muscle injury that sidelined him from January until the end of the campaign.[8] Despite that, Palermo signed him permanently from Empoli and confirmed him in the first team roster.[9]

On 2 September 2023, Štulac scored his first league goal with Palermo in a 3–0 home win against Feralpisalò.[10]

Reggiana

Štulac played for various Slovenian national youth selections, such as the under-17, under-19 and under-21 teams.[13]

In March 2018, he received his first call-up to the senior national team for the friendly matches against Austria and Belarus.[14] He made his senior debut against Cyprus on 9 September 2018.[15]
