NZS President Radenko Mijatovic does not hide high expectations: all conditions are in place for qualification to the European Championship 2024
Start of qualification for
Euro 2024
is just around the corner. On Tuesday, Matjaž Kek, selector of the
of the Slovenian national team
revealed the list of players with whom he will take on Kazakhstan and San Marino, and Radenko Mijatović also revealed his expectations at a press conference at Brdo pri Kranju.
President
Football Association of Slovenia
is convinced that all the conditions are in place for Slovenia to finally qualify for a major competition again. As a reminder, our national team last participated in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when Matjaž Kek was also the national selector.
Good feelings are based on results
“There is no doubt that expectations are high,” said Radenko Mijatović. The first man of the umbrella organisation continued.We are starting a new cycle, qualifying for the European Championship, which is not far away. It will be hosted in one of the most successful countries in football. It feels good, based on the results we have achieved recently. We are in a tough, strong Nations League group. We can also be optimistic because we have a team that has been together for some time.”
Radenko Mijatović is optimistic about both the players and the professional staff headed by Keke. The President of the Federation believes that everyone has matured to the point where success is the next logical step:”The boys showed a high level of belonging. They are mature and excellently managed. The technical staff, headed by the selector, has also been the same for some time. All the conditions are in place to make a good result. In a very even group, where perhaps only San Marino can be counted out and Denmark can be given a slight starting advantage, we can take one of the top two places. I am confident that the boys are capable of that.”
