Many are still wondering what will change when Acun Ilicali takes his place in the management of Maribor. Answers are scarce for now, but one has nevertheless been offered by Marko Šuler. Maribor’s sports director admitted that after entering into cooperation with the wealthy Turk, some Turkish footballers or footballers from Turkey will apparently come with him to Ljudski vrt.
“They are also just getting to know the environment, but I like that they understand how specific the environment in Maribor is and that some footballers are suitable for such an environment while others are not. For now, there is a lot of understanding, support, and joint coordination. I had some things prepared before their arrival; we know that key things sometimes happen months before the transfer,” said Marko Šuler, introducing himself to Sportklub.
Korošec continued regarding potential arrivals from Turkish football: “For now, we are going in an established direction, do not expect a surge of Turks, but I would like to have some because their base of quality footballers is abnormally large. Above all, they are characterful footballers, accustomed to pressure and hungry for success all the time. So we can expect some reinforcement from this area, but there will be no rush. We also know how things are arranged in Slovenia regarding foreigners, but unfortunately, we currently have few Slovenian young footballers who can be an immediate added value. In Maribor, the bar is set very high, so we can expect that there will be some differences between our team for Europe and the team for the Slovenian league.”
