Gorica is once again looking at rather uncertain financial times: an American investor has moved out of the 2. SNL withdraws from Nova Gorica
When the arrival of a business partner, an investor or a future “tenant” of the team was announced half a year ago, it seemed that Gorica was looking forward to very optimistic times. George Juncaj, a successful businessman from the United States, immediately offered the thought that this was a serious man. It has paid back debts, spent money on reinforcements and even managed to attract the iconic Edy Reja. But no matter what, Gorizia has reached a dead end. A word from
Telemach First League
has, predictably, changed a lot of things. Also the “mood” of the Michigan partner…
Although Gorizia has been more tight-lipped than not about what’s going on in the club’s offices for a few weeks now, it’s a poorly kept secret that George Juncaj has already said goodbye to the border town. This is evidenced by the fact that his son Steven Juncaj, who only plays football in Europe anyway because of his father’s connections or money, moved to Rijeka, where he signed for
Rijeka
. Sergej Jakirović, the now former coach of the Rijeka club , was tongue in cheek when asked why Steven Juncaj:“Because of a business deal between the president and the footballer’s father.”
Rujevica rather than Nova Gorica
George Juncaj will visit Rujevica quite a lot more in the future, but according to our reliable information, he has more often than not forgotten about the Sports Park in Nový Bor. The agreement reached in the winter failed miserably. The move to the 2nd SNL was too much for the American with Montenegrin roots to persevere in football in Novogorje. The good thing is that George Juncaj has more often than not settled all his arrears. At least he didn’t leave behind the destruction we saw after the end of his collaboration with Parma…
However, Gorica is looking into rather uncertain financial times, which could undoubtedly have an impact on the club’s performance. There is no money for good reinforcements, the wages are what they are; the players can be happy if they get regular… In the meantime, club president Uroš Blažica will have to roll up his sleeves and find the money to keep the club running. The response from local sponsors continues to be more lukewarm, which makes securing an annual budget all the more difficult. The first man of the club from Novogorica has not yet lived up to the high expectations of the local football fans, at least for now…
There is no doubt that Gorizia will survive another miserable story of cooperation with foreigners. It is just the future as it is. It is anything but impressive. And far, far away from the glamour that we were once used to in this New Town football club. But sometimes it is in the difficulties that the best and most beautiful stories begin to be written. The vision just has to be right…
