And Gorizia, understaffed and undermanned after the arrival of the new
business partner
from the United States of America, it rolled up its sleeves and started to fundamentally change its structure. Aleksandar Rodić is one of those who have joined the so far ambitious project of awakening the former national champion of Slovenia . The latter is well known to football fans in Nova Gorica.
Aleksandar Rodić , now 43, joined Gorica in 2002 and stayed in the blue and white jersey for two years. During that time, he scored 23 goals in 68 games and made one of the most high-profile transfers in the history of the Primorska club. In January 2005, he signed for Portsmouth, then in the elite English Premier League, led from the chair by none other than Milan Mandaric. It is not known how much Gorica earned at the time, but it was rumoured to be very good.

Rodić stayed at Portsmouth for only half a year, played four games and did not score. Later, the footballer who wore the jersey
of the Slovenian national team
who wore the Slovenian national team uniform nine times (he also scored in the match against Belarus ), changed employers several times. He played in Turkey, Bulgaria, even China, was also with the then high-flying Interblock and finished his “serious” career with Olimpija. Later, he wandered around the Italian lower leagues before finally putting his football boots in the corner in 2019.
Now, twenty years after his first arrival in Gorizia, Aleksandar Rodić is returning to the Roses, where he will be part of the professional staff of coach Milan Srebrnić. In addition to assisting the head coach, Rodić will spend most of his time working mainly with Gorica’s strikers.
