That was to be expected. With Toni Gerona at the head of the Serbian team, the connection between Chartres and the Balkans had a great chance of being strengthened! This is how next season, we will find three, even four Serbian players in the ranks of the CCMHB.
Serbian center half Aleksa Kolakovic heading for Chartres
Vanja Ilic, who has been enjoying the club for nearly three years on the left wing, will be joined this summer by two of his compatriots: center half Aleksa Kolakovic (24), at the end of his contract with Saint-Raphaël, and defender Ilija Abutovic. The latter, 33, has been playing since 2018 in one of the best clubs in the German championship, Rhein Neckar Lowen.
He is a player who leads others in defense and is capable of improving everyone around him.

Long spent with the Macedonian club Vardar Skopje (2011-2018), with whom he won the Champions League in 2017 and a whole host of trophies, Abutovic will bring his very high level culture, as well as his physique, since it culminates at 2.02 m! A very nice recruit.
C’Chartres MHB secures the services of a Serbian defender
Cham, Canellas and Afanou-Gatine not extended
“Ilija will add a lot of experience and quality to our collective, assures Toni Gerona, his future coach. He has always played at a very high level. He is a player who leads others in defense and is capable of improving everyone around him. He will also bring his enormous capacity for work and his professionalism on a daily basis. »
Chartres crushes Massy in a friendly
In the Chartrain workforce, he will replace the versatile Yannick Cham (36), whose contract expires in June and will not be renewed. The Guadeloupean, a historic element of the locker room, arrived in 2016 from Vernouillet, in N1, and will have rendered great services.
Marc Canellas, he will have stayed less long. Often injured – he hardly played this season – the Spaniard will not come back. In his place, as announced in our columns on Wednesday, it is therefore the Serb Aleksa Kolakovic (24 years old) who will be inducted this summer.
A proposal for Onufriyenko
Young but already experienced, Kolakovic had a very good start to the season with Saint-Raphaël (18 goals in 8 Starligue matches), before seriously injuring his knee. Will he pair up next year with his compatriot Djorje Djekic, recruited a few weeks ago as a medical joker? Nothing is recorded, but nothing is ruled out either. Everything will certainly depend on the adaptation of Djekic during the second half of the championship.
While Sergiy Onufryenko, author of a good first part of the season, has an extension proposal, Titouan Afanou-Gatine, for his part, will leave the club at the end of the season.
