How much longer on the Olimpija bench? Albert Riera would like to return to Spain one day, but …
A few days ago, Albert Riera raised a lot of dust among Olimpija fans with his statements for the famous Spanish Marco. The Dragons’ coach has emphasised out loud that he would like to return home as soon as possible to continue his promising coaching career. This naturally begs the question: what does this mean for Olimpija? Will she have to look for a new coach soon? Riera reassured the fans by saying that he feels great in Ljubljana at the moment.
Coach in your home country
“I am very happy at Olimpija,” the former Manchester City and Liverpool player told the club’s official website, before continuing.I feel that I have learned a lot and that I have the opportunity to pass on my knowledge to the players. I know they trust my philosophy and my way of working. As long as I have that feeling, I will stay here. The day will come when the team will no longer believe in me or when we will no longer win. As a coach, you have to accept that. When it is obvious that the team needs a change, I will be the first to resign.”
I am happy at the moment. I am satisfied both personally and with NK Olimpija.
The 40-year-old Mallorca expert continued about his future as a coach: “I am often asked when I will leave and to which club. I have no idea. Of course, one day I would like to coach in my home country. Who doesn’t want to be in Spain (laughs)? But when? Maybe next year, maybe in two years, maybe in seven years, or maybe never. You should be happy wherever you are. I am happy at the moment. I am satisfied both personally and with NK Olimpija. We need to think about each game individually and win.”

Riera moved to Stožice this summer, replacing the legendary Croatian expert Robert Prosinečki, who is extremely popular among Dragons fans. He was sacked by the Olimpija management just a few days before the start of the 2022/23 season after a high-profile dispute.
