Good week after we reported as the first that Darjan Slavic will be the new coach of Mura‘s youth team, competing for the title of national champion in the Eon NextGen League, an official personnel move has been confirmed in Murska Sobota. Matjaž Kek Jr., who has been coaching the youth team, has become the new assistant to the first-team coach Anton Žlogar, while Darjan Slavic has moved from the senior coaching staff to the bench of the U19 team.
“When Anton Žlogar took over as the head coach, it was more or less clear that Matjaž Kek, the former coach of the youth selection, would join him. The most important thing is that we found a replacement within the club and entrusted the work with the youth to Darjan, who knows the structure, knows the requirements, and can start working immediately,” said Mura’s sports director Robert Koren for the club’s website.
Robert Kuzmič, the president of the black-and-whites from Prekmurje, added: “Darjan Slavic has worked in younger selections in the past and knows how to work with young players, knows how important it is to educate them properly into footballers who can compete in the senior selection. In recent years, he has gained additional experience as an assistant coach with the seniors, and I am pleased that he has accepted a new role, which is extremely important, and I believe he will do a good job. After changing the coach, we had to find solutions, and what is very important is that we found them within the club. Darjan was there with the senior team when footballers and our football school players established themselves in recent months, and he knows exactly what the requirements are for players who join the senior team.”
