Although it would be difficult to claim that the fans of Maribor adore him, Marko Šuler continues to have support where it is most needed – from the higher-ups. The Carinthian has been in talks with them for some time about signing a new contract, which will actually happen shortly. Marko Šuler is convinced that the continuation of his work at Ljudski vrt will be much more pleasant and successful.
“On the first day, I knew what I was getting into. I knew what path would need to be taken. We know what kind of successes Maribor has had, and what the standards are. I quickly realized the situation at the club, and I expected two years of hardship. That’s what happened. The transition to a new era, restoring Maribor’s DNA to familiar norms, which was not an easy thing,” Marko Šuler told Sportklub.
The former Slovenian international, who also played in the 2010 World Cup, is optimistic about Maribor’s future: “I believe that this difficult period is coming to an end. With Ante, we got a coach who knows no other way than to run the club at a high pace. But it’s not easy. I have accepted my role that there will be a lot of bad written about me, that I will be criticized. That I will make mistakes, I wasn’t born a sporting director. I’m learning, like people before me and people after me will. I try to make as few mistakes as possible, but I believe that many things have been good too. The club is stable, the football school has taken a step forward. I believe we will soon see the Maribor we know. There has been a lot of sweat, and there will be more, but the path we have taken is the right one.”
