Some time ago, we exclusively revealed that Tony Tiong, hailing from a wealthy Malaysian family, is interested in acquiring Koper. Now, he has further substantiated his intentions. Tony Tiong – as reported by Sportklub – has officially submitted an offer to purchase the Primorska club, which was rejected by Ante Guberac, the president of Koper. The offer was said to be multimillion-dollar, but the reasons for its rejection by Ante Guberac are unknown. However, considering all that has happened recently in Italy, where Tony Tiong led Ancona, this may not be a bad move.
In the Italian port city, Tony Tiong left behind a trail of destruction. Due to debts and financial mismanagement, Ancona lost its license to play in Serie C, Italy’s third-tier league by quality. Tony Tiong also stirred controversy with his media appearances, consistently claiming he would resolve the issues and settle the debts. He blamed everyone else for Ancona’s problems, but the outcome was as it was. Ancona remained without a license and without a place in Serie C.
