The predictions came true, as Boštjan Cesar was officially appointed as the new coach of Maribor on Monday! The Slovenian record holder and former defender, who played 101 matches for the national team, has signed a contract with the purple team until 2027. He replaces Ante Šimundža at the helm of the Styrian giant, and this will be his first experience in club football. Previously, he worked at the Football Association of Slovenia, first as the coach of youth teams, and for the last three years as an assistant to Matjaž Kek in the senior national team.
“Club press release: We are pleased to announce that Boštjan Cesar has become the new coach of NK Maribor, bringing invaluable experience and a deep understanding of the game. A long-time captain of the Slovenian national team, who has worn the national jersey the most times (102) of all players, was known for his leadership qualities on the pitch. Since deciding to pursue a coaching career, he has shown the same level of dedication and vision that characterized him during his active career. He has signed a contract until 2027, and he will conduct his first training session at Ljudski vrt on Monday,” Maribor stated on their official website.
The club from Ljudski vrt added: “Before joining the national team staff, Boštjan Cesar independently coached the Slovenian U19 and U18 national teams. With rich experience from major competitions (participant in the 2010 World Cup) and club scenes (having played for Olympique Marseille, Dinamo Zagreb, West Bromwich Albion, Grenoble, and most notably Chievo, where he made 215 appearances in Serie A), he begins this new project at the helm of the 16-time Slovenian champion with great motivation.“
