Who will lead the women’s national team? Slaviša Stojanović and Dejan Grabić are among the candidates for the vacancy
After Borut Jarc resigned yesterday as the head of the Slovenian women’s national team, there is an interesting question about who will be his successor. Radenko Mijatović, President President of the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS), and his closest colleagues have reportedly already rolled up their sleeves and started looking for a new expert to fill the vacancy. The wish list has already been drawn up and should include two coaches who have left a strong mark in men’s football: Slaviša Stojanović and Dejan Grabić.
Slaviša Stojanović is currently without a coaching job, having last managed Levski from Sofia and helped or is still helping Domžale as a consultant. The Ljubljana-based player already has experience as a selector, having managed both Slovenia and Latvia in men’s football. Dejan Grabić, meanwhile, proved his worth with a long stint at Bravo and a much shorter stint on the bench Mura.
It is also not impossible that women will be taken over by… a woman. Anja Milenkovic, a 41-year-old retired midfielder who played 163 games and scored 107 goals in the Women’s First League, is also unofficially in the running for the selector’s position. She has also worn the national jersey 39 times.
Let us add that the NHS does not have much room for manoeuvre, already 22. On September 9, the women’s national team will play their opening game in the Nations League against the Czech Republic in Krško. The Slovenian Group 4 also includes Belarus and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
