National players have a ‘battle’ with the selector: Borut Jarc leaves the Slovenian women’s national team for ‘personal reasons’
Some time ago, a revolt in Slovenia raised quite a bit of dust in the the Slovenian women’s national team. The national players have stood together and made it clear that they no longer want to play under the leadership of the current selector. Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) initially supported the latter, but Borut Jarc has now decided on his own that he will no longer lead a team where he is more than obviously not welcome. The 63-year-old, who has also managed the men’s U-17 and U-19 national teams in the past, stressed that his decision was made for“purely personal reasons“.
LETTER FROM BORUT JARC TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE NZS:
With a heavy heart, but considering the situation that has arisen, which is not good for anyone (me personally, the NHS and the Women’s A team), I am asking you for an amicable termination of the cooperation for the management of the Women’s National Football Team of Slovenia. This decision comes at a time when the Slovenian women’s national football team has achieved the highest ever ranking in the Fifa rankings. This is the result of the hard work and dedication of our team, our colleagues and everyone involved.
I am making this proposal purely on personal grounds. After careful reflection, I came to the conclusion that I could no longer successfully continue my work as a selector under these circumstances. It was a difficult decision, as I have always acted in a professional spirit and in an era of faith in the success of the Slovenian women’s national football team.
I would like to stress that throughout my mandate I have acted to the best of my knowledge and conviction and with the aim of leading the national team in a fair manner, with the aim of achieving the best possible results. I also wish to explicitly deny all allegations that have affected me personally. I would like to stress that I have always acted morally and in accordance with ethical principles.
I would like to thank the Football Association of Slovenia for the opportunity to serve as your selector. At the same time, regardless of the accusations, I would like to express my gratitude to all the players, staff and fans who have supported us and believed in our common goal.
I wish the Slovenian women’s national football team all the best in the upcoming competitions. I am confident that the team has a bright future and will continue its rise on the international football scene.
Yours sincerely,
Borut Jarc
