Gorica officially confirms rumour: Edy Reja says goodbye quickly, Agron Shalja will take over the reins
The legendary
Edy Reja
is no longer Gorica coach! He will lead the Novogorica team before relegation from
Telemach First League
will be saved by Agron Shalja. The first player’s departure has been officially confirmed by Gorica, the second one will arrive soon. “In an attempt to find the best solution to move up the score curve, the club and Reja have terminated their cooperation by mutual agreement. His assistants Sergio Porrini and Luigi Febbrari are also leaving ND Gorica,” said the team from Nova Gorica.
The 77-year-old professional, who has managed many clubs in his rich career, including Napoli, Lazio and Atalanta, and has been Albania’s national team manager, surely did not expect his first adventure in the country where his roots are from to be so short. He managed Gorica in only seven matches. It was not a bad start, opening with seven points in three games, but four consecutive defeats followed and it was clearly too much for the management of a club fighting for survival. But the question arises whether Edy Reja, a coaching giant in the true sense of the word, really deserved such an attitude…
Agron Shalja, who has managed only Celje in club football, will try to save Gorica from relegation, but in 2021 he stayed in the city for only a few months or 20 matches. Previously, he was a selector, leading the Slovenian national under-17 and under-19 teams.
