In Italy, they called him Boss, while in Slovenia, he was so important that today he is the player with the most appearances for the national team of all time. Boštjan Cesar has given a lot to football, and he wants to give even more in his new role, which he took on after ending his playing career. The legendary Ljubljana native is currently part of the Slovenian national team, serving as the right hand of coach Matjaž Kek. Primarily, he is an assistant, but for various reasons, he has already led Slovenia from the sidelines four times. Among other achievements, he can boast of a victory against Portugal…
In addition to this, Boštjan Cesar doesn’t hide that he has high coaching ambitions, and although he is currently happy with the national team, he would like to return to club football sooner or later.
“I’m very happy with the national team, but time will tell where my path will take me. I would like to work in a club. We’ll see whether it’s in the Slovenian or Croatian league. Perhaps even in a ‘top league’,” emphasized Boštjan Cesar in an interview for Sportske novosti, responding to a journalist’s suggestion that he might one day lead Dinamo, Hajduk, Rijeka…
“These are the biggest clubs in Croatia, being a coach there is a privilege. In football, you never know. My boss Matjaž Kek is always in the shortlist when those clubs are looking for a coach. He deserves it because he achieved great success with Rijeka,” added the 41-year-old Boštjan Cesar today.
