Damages of around €150,000 (Olimpija had already paid the first of the three agreed instalments) was enough for Koper to let its current coach go to the bench of the rival from Ljubljana.
Ivica Guberac, Koper’s sporting director, admitted that he cared about Zoran Zeljković’s farewell. But he also added that this time he listened to the coach’s wishes first and foremost. Zoran Zeljković was the one who stressed that he did not want to let the opportunity slip away, while Ivica Guberac did not want to annoy his former colleague.
“The night before the Olimpija deal, Zoran and I had a frank and direct discussion about his future. When I saw that he wanted to transfer if Olimpija agreed to Koper’s terms, I respected his decision and contacted the leaders. Negotiations were difficult, but in the end we agreed on compensation. It all happened very quickly, and I must admit, very emotionally. Zoran and I have had many great moments that I believe we will never forget. I wish him all the best on his new path,” said Ivica Guberac on the occasion of the coaching change at Bonifika, where Safet Hadžić will be the new head coach.
