It may not be the best time to talk about the future of the selector, but Matjaž Kek had to be at Brdo pri Kranju, where he is where he unveiled the list of the players for the last qualifying matches for the Euro 2024, he also had to face a question about it. It is crystal clear that much will depend on the outcome of the qualification battles. If Slovenia fails… Then the move by the Football Association of Slovenia will certainly be interesting. If Slovenia succeeds… Then there should be no doubt.
“It is too early to talk about it. As far as I am concerned, it is quite clear until when I have a contract,” said Matjaž Kek, who signed a new contract with the NHS in December 2021. At that time, both parties agreed that Matjaž Kek would lead the Slovenian national team“also in the next UEFA Nations League cycle and in the qualification for the UEFA European Championship 2024“. Negotiations on a new contract will therefore have to start soon, one way or another…
Matjaž Kek continued in a more philosophical way about his future on the bench: “As for the rest, I can say that there are guys in this group with so much perspective that anyone who has them will be able to develop them. Mentally they are at that level, they want to be better, to prove themselves. In the jersey of Slovenia and their clubs. I have immense confidence in my professional staff, in the people around me. We all make mistakes, but we are objective. We know how to fix them. We are not looking for alibis. We have taken a step forward. The results we have been getting lately are not the result of one action, one player. We are where we wanted to be from day one. Nothing will matter if we don’t get this done. Slovenian football is in a positive moment with the national team, the youth national team and the rest of the selections. There are many things that could have been different, but it is for the better.“
