In Maribor, these days are quite eventful, although not so much because of the club that resides in the Ljudski vrt. The “external actors” have provided a very interesting situation – first, there was an announcement from Acun Ilicali, a wealthy individual from Turkey, who announced his arrival in Maribor, then the media in Croatia reported that Ante Šimundža is among the candidates for the coach of Hajduk.
Ante Šimundža, who is preparing his team for the Styrian derby against Celje, addressed the press before the match with the newly crowned Slovenian champion, responding to both the eventful situation in the club’s management and the rumors sparked by their southern neighbors.
Šimundža: “It surprised me as well”
“Even the fact that you said the rumors appeared in Croatian media says it all. It all surprised me as well,” said Ante Šimundža, emphasizing that there were no contacts with the club from Split, which once again missed the opportunity this year to rise to the top of Croatian club football.
Regarding the arrival of the owner of Hull City, Ante Šimundža is most pleased that the club’s sports director Marko Šuler has already informed the players about everything, consequently leaving them not entirely uncertain.
“All that is happening will not affect us. The club has decided that the sports director will provide the necessary information to the players about how things are going. The first team is the most important part of the club, so it is important that this is known. Guidelines have been explained, so credit to the club’s management for sharing the course of events. The guys have accepted this normally, they are thinking about the field, that’s why we are here, other things are not for us,” added the 52-year-old Ante Šimundža.
