Last week Maribor changed coach, on Monday it became clear that Albert Riera will leave Celje, and Olimpija also considered that the time had come the right moment to say goodbye to Joao Henriques. There is no end in sight to the coaching shuffles, and no end in sight to the twists and turns.

In fact, all that was missing was the signing of the contract. But Gonzalo Garcia, according to information from circles close to the South American expert, has finally changed his mind and – clearly – disappointed Celje’s management, which has to start the search for a new coach all over again.
Although Gonzalo Garcia was, as I said, satisfied in principle with what was offered, he eventually decided that moving to Slovenia would not be the right step at this point in his career.
