Criticism has rained down on him for a long time, in the eyes of many, he was the main culprit for the troubles of Maribor, which has failed to win any trophies for two consecutive seasons. Now, the curve of success has started to rise, and Marko Šuler does not hide his pride in the work he has done as the sporting director of Maribor. The Carinthian is convinced that he has assembled a team with potential, with a bright future ahead.
“We must consider that significant changes have occurred in the last two years. There has been a generational shift, replacing one of the most successful ones in the club’s history overnight is a mission impossible. All these guys who have come, and there were many of them, need a certain time. To get used to the demands here, to understand what is acceptable for Maribor and what is not. To realize how high the bar is set. That things need to be repeated day in and day out,” Marko Šuler emphasized for the club’s website.
Former Slovenian national team player then admitted that Ante Šimundža was the last piece of the puzzle that Maribor needed. “With Ante Šimundža, we got a man who guides the boys and leads the team on the desired path. As a club and as a sporting director myself, we no longer have such a direct impact during the season; the coach has it in his everyday work with the players. When this role is performed by a person who knows Maribor to every cell, then things come together in the desired mosaic. This team has great potential, it is deliberately composed, and will also form the backbone for the future. We have started one path, on which there will also be setbacks. All this is, understandably, an integral part, but it is important that we already show something on the field, what we are and where we belong. I believe that very interesting and highly successful times are ahead of us,” Marko Šuler concluded.
