The coaching “experiment” with a Slovenian didn’t succeed, so the leadership of NK Olimpija has decided to once again turn to foreign expertise. As revealed by Goran Boromisa, the sports director of the Dragons, who will also test himself as a coach in the 157th eternal derby against the formidable Maribor while replacing Zorana Zeljković on the bench of last year’s Slovenian champions, a foreigner will definitely take over.
“We have 100 offers, 100 ways of thinking. We will narrow it down to three, four candidates and appoint a coach for the new season within two weeks. It will be a foreigner,” Goran Boromisa announced at the press conference before heading to the Styrian capital, initially the goalkeeper coach, but today both sports director and interim coach, who understandably did not want to discuss specific names.
The first coach brought to Olimpija’s bench by Adam Delius was also a foreigner – Dino Skender. He was followed by Robert Prosinečki, another foreigner, after two Croatians, Albert Riera got the chance. The Spaniard won the double crown, but for the connoisseurs in the club’s leadership, that wasn’t enough. Riera had to leave, and in came Joao Henriques. The Portuguese ensured a historic autumn in Europe, but left before the arrival of winter. Zoran Zeljković was the first Slovenian in the era of Adam Delius, but lasted only 30 games.
