On Friday, just before the draw for the group stage of the Conference League, in which Olimpija and Celje participated, a shocking announcement was made: Marko Šuler was no longer the sporting director of Maribor! However, this was not true. The rumors were unfounded. A few hours later, the response came from Ljudski vrt, where they felt the need to “protect the integrity of the club”. Maribor firmly emphasized that the media reports were incorrect. Marko Šuler remains the sporting director of the club.
Response from NK Maribor:
We cannot comment on all media reports and unofficial information. When things go too far and the integrity of the club is at stake, it is necessary to provide an appropriate response. NK Maribor firmly rejects media reports suggesting that Marko Šuler and Sebastijan Harc have departed from Ljudski vrt.
The timing of the case speaks volumes. After the conclusion of the European competition, the day after a painful defeat, when fan emotions are also stirred and media coverage is consequently greater, a new moment is created for attempting to stir unrest in the club’s operations.
Marko Šuler remains in his role as sporting director, and Sebastijan Harc remains in the football academy. All key matters regarding the agreement with the new strategic partner have been presented through ongoing communication. For complete transparency and responsibility to the large fan base, we have also facilitated a media presentation of Mr. Ilicalija at Ljudski vrt, who answered every question posed. Matters are proceeding according to the planned schedule and timeline, certainly without any major staff changes. In the future, we will continue to present all moves in a timely manner through club channels, thus informing fans and the public. Certainly not through media that, by citing verified sources, fill the media space with misleading and false reports.
