On Monday, there was quite a buzz in Murska Sobota, even though there was no match scheduled. The lights were on at the Fazanerija stadium, and the reason was George Juncaj. The businessman from the United States held his first media event since becoming a business or strategic partner of Mura.
We’ve previously reported on his long-term goal of seeing Mura in the Champions League. This time, George Juncaj also addressed whether Anton Žlogar has his support. As we know from Nova Gorica, Miran Srebrnič also had the support of the management, but after a few poor results, he was let go. He was first replaced by Edy Reja, followed by Agron Šalja, who is now the general manager of Mura and the right-hand man of the owner of the American club Michigan Stars.
George Juncaj emphasized that the situation in Nova Gorica was very strange in many ways. Regarding Anton Žlogar, who joined the club during the tenure of former sporting director Robert Koren, Juncaj assured that the coach can rest easy—at least for now.
George Juncaj: “The Team is Still Taking Shape”
“Tonči is currently Mura’s coach and has all the support any coach needs. The team is still taking shape, and we have a lot of work ahead of us, both on and off the pitch. We can be fairly satisfied, but we expect more and better,” said George Juncaj, hinting that he won’t tolerate many more results like Sunday’s 0-4 loss at Olimpija for too long.
Agron Šalja also revealed that the summer transfer window at Fazanerija is not yet closed, with two or three new faces expected to join. One of those likely to don the black-and-white jersey is Edin Julardžija, a former Domžale player who is expected to arrive in Prekmurje on loan from Sarajevo.
