Zlatko Zahović spoke to Serbian media, revealing some interesting statements in an interview for Mozzart Sport. Among other things, he disclosed that he wanted to bring Matjaž Kek to Maribor years ago, and he is also convinced that the Purple ones primarily struggle to win trophies because there is no longer … him in the club! While Zlatko Zahović might currently be without a club, he certainly isn’t lacking in confidence, as evidenced by his statement regarding why some people call him a quarrelsome person who insults and behaves arrogantly.
“Why are they attacking me? Because of success. During my tenure as a functionary in Maribor, we won 16 trophies. There were times when we were practically champions by October. And we’re not from the capital… Also, all the biggest successes of Slovenian football are associated with my name: the first qualification for the European Championship, the first qualification for the World Cup, the second qualification for the World Cup, the first club from our country to qualify for the Champions League was Maribor with me, then again, and three Europa Leagues, again me,” listed Zlatko Zahović, who apparently forgot that Maribor qualified for the Champions League for the first time without him, raising questions about his role in the second qualification for the World Cup.
Anyway, Zlatko Zahović, who naturally never had any claims taken away from him for all the successes he contributed to, continued: “Out of the ten greatest successes of Slovenian football, I was involved in eight. So, I have every reason to speak candidly. I have knowledge, I understand the matter, the essence. I am an expert, I have a PRO license. I live football. For example, if I took over Koper, I would be champions ten times in a row. Why? Because there is no quality expertise in Slovenia, and I would be the first. People here don’t understand competitive, European football.“
