No more doubts: former national team player Haris Vučkić will train and play under the former Maribor coach in the future
What has been rumoured for some time has now been officially confirmed. Sergej Jakirović is no longer the coach of Zrinjski, the leading club in the BiH championship, and will continue his career in Croatia. Jakirović, who we got to know in Slovenia when he was the manager of Maribor, is the new coach
Rijeka
. His move to Rujevica was confirmed by Mostar, who explained that they took into account Jakirović’s wish and also concluded an agreement with Rijeka regarding the coach’s move to the bench of the former Croatian champions.
Jakirović, who will be at his former club Matjaž Kek and Simon Rožman, to succeed Italian Serse Cosmi, has a far from easy task in Croatia. Rijeka is in very poor form this season. They were knocked out of the cup by a second league team, are only eighth in the championship and even suffered a historic defeat before the national break. Dinamo Zagreb defeated them 7:2 in Rujevica.
Jakirović, a former player of Prevalje Korotan, who has already defended the colours of Rijeka in the 2007/08 season, will have his first official match on the bench of the Rijeka club in January, away to Osijek.
