Damir Krznar will undoubtedly remember the year 2023 forever. Why? Simply put, just when it seemed that his coaching career had received a blow from which it would be difficult to recover, he received an offer that took him where he had long wanted to be but couldn’t reach – to the top of the Prva liga Telemach. In a matter of days, Damir Krznar first had a stint at Maribor, and then landed a job at Celje. His life went from catastrophe to euphoria in a matter of days, and now, as Celje heads into the winter break at the top of the Slovenian championship, he doesn’t hide his satisfaction with the environment he has found himself in, also thanks to the incredible twists of fate.
“It’s true, there’s no room for complaints; we have leadership behind us that follows us and an organizational model that systematically advances year by year. The players are of quality, what excites me even more is their diligence, dedication, competitiveness, and character. Not for a single moment have I had issues, but I’m aware they might arise. However, the team comprises professionals who, when we stray from the path, are capable of quickly returning to the path of victory. This realization instills confidence in me; they are great athletes and form a serious team,” praised 51-year-old Damir Krznar his employer and his protégés for Delo.
The expert from neighboring Croatia also touched on what went wrong at Ljudski vrt that the purples couldn’t bring back their former glory. “It’s not so easy to compare; if everything was that simple, the betting agencies would go bankrupt. Nor do I want to compare Maribor and Celje. The Maribor club has tradition, brilliant achievements, it stumbled somewhere, but will return sooner or later. The club has a high organizational level of operation, which is why I had no issues, they have quality players in the team. They have a profile of players who create the game, technically good players, ‘dribblers.’ They are very close to Celje’s style, but with mine, it’s evident they’re motivated, the ‘fighting’ spirit prevails, they are more competitive and masculine,” commented Damir Krznar for Delo.
