On Monday, Domžale introduced their new coach to the public. In the minds of the leadership of the yellow family, Dejan Djuranović, the coach of the under-19 team, was also considered, but when it became clear that Dejan Dončić was ready to return to Kamniška Bistrica, there were no more doubts. Domžale will be saved from their troubles – the club is winless at the bottom of the Prva liga Telemach standings – by their old acquaintance, who will be proving himself as the head coach of the senior team for the first time with the yellow family.
“After six years, I am returning to Domžale and I can say that I feel very comfortable. I am glad that we have agreed to work together again, as I feel at home here,” said Dejan Dončić upon his arrival in Domžale, who previously led Maribor. Not the first team, but the youth team, with which he was the national champion. In Ljudski vrt, he worked in a safe environment, but the unrest that Domžale is facing scared him.
“The first step was already taken today at training when I met the players. We want to raise the level of play and start stringing together good results. It’s hard for me to talk about what happened in the past. I am only interested in the future,” emphasized 51-year-old Dejan Dončić, adding: “The first goal is to get out of the relegation zone. It is necessary to establish balance both on the field and in the locker room. The desire is that by the end of the season we are not afraid of relegation, but that we fight for higher places in the league standings.“
