Saturday’s 157th eternal derby between Maribor and Olimpija was watched by 10,460 spectators, among them was a very special guest, who controls more than 100 million euros. In accordance with the announcements, Acun Ilicali, a businessman from Turkey, who also owns the English club Hull City, traveled to Slovenia.
Acun Ilicali wants to expand his football influence to Slovenia, so he did not attend the eternal derby just because he wanted to watch a good football match. Not at all. Acun Ilicali will be a guest of the Maribor management team in these days, both sides will sit down for negotiations and try to find common ground regarding the announced collaboration.
It is expected that the discussions will be anything but simple – Ilicali also wants to have a say in Maribor, and the current club leadership is reportedly not very keen on the idea of completely handing over the reins of the purple football club to the Turk. However, Acun Ilicali is in Slovenia; his visit started with the derby, but how he wants to end it is clear: with a contract signature.
