That he was bidding farewell to football had been clear for some time. After all, we reported not long ago that Bojan Jokić had already embarked on his first coaching job. But now his farewell from the football pitches was officially confirmed and, if you will, sealed. It happened on the pitch of the stadium where he didn’t have as much luck as the generation that followed him. Bojan Jokić and his “partners in crime” achieved their greatest success in Maribor’s Ljudski vrt… But what they achieved! They made it to the World Cup…
Bojan Jokić left such a big mark in the national team jersey that he deserved at least what he received on Tuesday evening at the Stožice Stadium. Perhaps he deserved even more, but every such gesture counts. The Gorenjec, aged 37 years, stepped onto the Stožice pitch on Tuesday as the first one. With the next generation in his hands. And with Radenko Mijatović, president of the Slovenian Football Association, by his side. Bojan Jokić received a signed jersey with number 13 as a gift. The number he wore all these years.
Bojan Jokić played exactly 100 matches for Slovenia and is second on the all-time Slovenian appearances list. Only Boštjan Cesar has more appearances. Both are giants. One was on the bench last night, the other bid farewell with thunderous applause.
