Mura has killed two birds with one stone: it has found both a new head of the football school and a new youth team coach. Both roles will now be filled by Damir Čontala, the former coach of a fourth-tier team from Odranci, who is already a familiar face at Fazanerija. He previously served as an assistant coach at Mura, later becoming the head coach and briefly holding the position of school director in Murska Sobota.
“I am glad that we managed to agree on cooperation with Damir. I am pleased that he has decided to take this step in his career. It is important that we have someone from the local community who understands the spirit of this club. He has previously worked here as a senior team coach and with younger selections. It is important that we share similar thinking and that Damir understands the importance of operating within the system we aim to develop. He will be responsible for leading the U19 team and overseeing the development of competitive selections,” said Mura’s new general director, Agron Šalja, on the club’s website.
39-year-old Damir Čontala, who replaced Slovak expert Marian Sluka as the coach of the youth team and Robert Koren as the head of operations, commented upon his return to the black and white: “After Agron Šalja’s call, I didn’t hesitate for long, and we quickly found common ground. The club’s vision aligns with my ideas, especially the established approach in the football school. I realize that leading the football school carries a lot of responsibility. I know the club well, understand how it operates, and I hope our cooperation will be successful. I am happy that we have once again found common ground regarding collaboration, aiming to produce as many young players as possible from our own football school for the needs of the senior team.“
