After more than six years, Anton Žlogar has returned to club football, becoming the new coach of Mura on Wednesday. Interestingly, he left his previous position just before the highlight of the year: the Slovenian youth national team is set to participate in a crucial qualification tournament for the European Championship on home soil in March.

Anton Žlogar, who has been employed at the Football Association of Slovenia since 2019, admitted that the decision was not easy, as he genuinely wanted to finish the mentioned qualification cycle. However, the call from club football was ultimately too strong.
“The decision was difficult only because I wanted to finish the cycle with the national team or the qualification for the European Championship. But in football, things don’t always go according to plan and established tracks. Surprises come that force you to make different decisions. The Football Association of Slovenia was understanding of my wishes and contacts. When you set a goal to work in senior football someday and you get the opportunity to lead Mura, then the decision is not difficult,” explained the 46-year-old Anton Žlogar during the presentation at Fazanerija.
