Although news circulated around noon that Slovenia would play Thursday’s friendly match against Malta without the presence of the coach, this will not be the case. Despite everything, Matjaž Kek has decided to travel with the national team to the Mediterranean island, where the Slovenian national team will play its first official match in 2024.
As already known, during the current gathering, Matjaž Kek received sad news: his father Franc Kek passed away at the age of 90. His father also dedicated his life to football and played for Maribor among other clubs.
Despite his father’s death, Matjaž Kek will not “neglect” his coaching duties. He will also be on the Slovenia bench in Malta. The only additional or unexpected duty his assistant Boštjan Cesar had was actually attending the midweek press conference. Everything else remains within Matjaž Kek’s domain, who, despite everything, secured a seat on the plane of the Slovenian national team and traveled to La Valletta.
