The adventure, undertaken as the greatest challenge in his career so far, lasted only 30 matches: Olimpija has “swallowed” a new coach, and Zoran Zeljković is officially no longer at the helm of the club from Ljubljana. “As of today, Zoran Zeljković is leaving the position of head coach of NK Olimpija Ljubljana after the termination of cooperation. Also departing are the former assistant Džengis Čavušević and goalkeeper coach Benjamin Levak,” Olimpija stated on their official website.
The club, based in Stožice, added: “The 43-year-old coach led the Zmaji in 30 matches in all competitions, recording 16 wins, 8 draws, and 6 losses. With Olimpija, he competed in the group stage of the European Conference League in the fall and achieved two historic international victories against Klaksvik and Slovan Bratislava. The club thanks Zoran, Džengis, and Benjamin for their entire contribution to the Dragon’s nest and wishes them all the best in the future.”
In less than a year, Olimpija has changed coaches three times. After the double crown, Albert Riera had to bid farewell, and after reaching the group stage of the conference league, Joao Henriques was left without a job. Now, Zoran Zeljković, who previously coached Koper before coming to the Slovenian capital, had to say goodbye as well. The Dragons have not yet revealed who will take over the reins of the senior team, but it is expected to be Boštjan Miklič, who currently coaches the youth team.
