Club career

FC Košice

2025–26 season: Debut season

On 21 October 2025, Kalanin signed his first professional contract with FC Košice, signing a 3-year contract until the year 2028.[3][4][5] He had previously been playing for Košice’s B team in the 3.

Kalanin made his Slovak First Football League debut in a 2–0 loss against AS Trenčín,[12] becoming the youngest player to start a game in the league at 16 years, 2 months and 9 days, breaking the previous record of Artur Gajdoš from AS Trenčín.[13] His next game would come in a 2–1 loss to FC Spartak Trnava. Kalanin was rated as the best player on the pitch for Košice, saving a penalty but eventually conceding a goal in the 94th minute of the game.[14]
