For the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS), it has been an eventful summer. Following the Euro 2024, there was also a very interesting personnel announcement that Miran Pavlin is leaving Brdo pri Kranju and moving to the Premier League. The Gorenjec will become the technical director of Nottingham Forest, which means that the NZS will need someone to take the position of national team director. According to Sportklub, the decision has apparently already been made: Pavlin will be replaced by his former national team teammate Milenko Aćimović.
The legendary Ljubljančan, one of the best Slovenian footballers of all time, is already employed by the NZS. He is the coach of the U21 national team, which is on a good path to at least the playoffs for the European Championship. Since things are going well for Slovenia, Milenko Aćimović will remain on the bench as acting coach until the end of the campaign or until the end of the European Championship. After that, the NZS will find a new coach, and Milenko Aćimović will fully devote himself to the directorial role, reports Sportklub.
47-year-old Milenko Aćimović has been leading the young national team since 2020, and he is already familiar with directorial work, although at the club level. He was twice the sports director of Olimpija, during which many young and talented footballers played for the Dragons. Even while leading the U21 team, the former footballer of Olimpija, Ljubljana, Crvena zvezda, Tottenham, Lille, Al Ittihad, and Austria Vienna has proven that he truly knows how to work with young players. Therefore, his move to the directorial position is a loss but also a gain for the NZS, as he will succeed Pavlin, a professional who undoubtedly knows how to handle things.
