Maribor is entering a new, unprecedented era in its rich history. The old guard will make way for new faces, and these will be foreigners.

For the new faces, Zahović’s blessing would undoubtedly be their biggest victory so far in convincing fans that they are right for their club.
Maribor24.si was the first to report on the rumored and buzzing speculations, stating that “sporting director Marko Šuler might soon be replaced by Zlatko Zahović, who is said to already have an offer on the table“. However, Zlatko Zahović, who has been focusing on himself, his family, and especially his health since leaving Maribor, quickly responded and denied to Sportklub that he has any Ilicali offer on the table.
“I have nothing on the table, maybe I need to check the drawer. Some people obviously have too much time on their hands,” Zlatko Zahović made it clear to Sportklub that there is little truth to the sensational rumors.

However, the question remains whether Zlatko Zahović would even be willing to collaborate, even if he were to receive an offer. After all, he was recently quite critical of the Maribor leadership’s decision to “sell” the club to foreigners. He personally sees this as nothing more than a form of betrayal…
