Hajduk is once again looking for a new coach after another failed season, and among the candidates, according to Germanijak, is Ante Šimundža. But what are the actual chances of him leaving Maribor and moving to Poljud? Apparently not very high. At least that’s what Adrian Aliaj, a former Albanian national team player who also played for Hajduk and now works in agent representation, claims. One of his clients is Ante Šimundža.
“Leave Šimundža alone. He simply isn’t an option for Hajduk,” emphasized Adrian Aliaj to Slobodna Dalmacija, adding regarding the coach of the club from Ljudski vrh: “Ante Šimundža has a two-year contract with Maribor and he remains in Maribor. He has the championship playoffs ahead of him, and he needs to focus on that work. Everything else is baseless speculation.”
It seems the people from Split will have to look elsewhere for their new coach… The 52-year-old Ante Šimundža has in the past revealed his fondness for Hajduk as a club, but it is also true that he has undertaken a long-term project in Maribor, and considering how principled a professional he is, it would be genuinely surprising if he were to move to Dalmatia at this moment…
