Slovenian football, both national and club, is experiencing excellent times, but let’s be honest: without Zlatko Zahovič, it would simply not be as interesting as it could be if the legendary Maribor native were involved. However, the former Slovenian international has remained in the background since his departure from Maribor, and although he has received some offers, he has not accepted any. Igor Barišić, the director of Olimpija, recently admitted in an interview with Delo that he holds Zahovič in very high regard.
“We have excellent relations with Maribor; I would rather not comment on their sports policy, that’s their matter. I would love to see Zlatko Zahovič return. He has opened my eyes to some things and I respect him. I don’t know him personally, but what he has done… Even in Germany, they would tip their hats to him. It would be good for Slovenian football if he returned, but I understand him. Personally, I see that his private life suffers because he is involved in football 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Now he can enjoy,” Barišić said in the interview with Delo, who, along with Adam Delius, has been managing Olimpija since 2021.
