Slovenian international Petar Stojanović will spend a second consecutive season in Serie B, with the same goal as last year: achieving promotion to Serie A. After an unsuccessful stint with Sampdoria, he now hopes for better fortunes with Salernitana, to which he has been loaned by Empoli for a year. Salernitana, which was relegated from Serie A last season, is considered one of the favorites for promotion.
“Serie B is a very demanding league, but if we stay united and positive, we can achieve our goal. And then we’ll organize a celebration together,” said Stojanović with a smile during his official presentation in Salerno. He also mentioned that he chose Salernitana partly because of their fanatical supporters.
“I remember a game I played with Empoli against Salernitana. It was the game where Diego Perotti missed a penalty… It felt like we were playing away, not at home! Salernitana had such loud support from the stands, and I saw how loyal and vocal their fans are. I can’t wait to play at the home stadium,” continued the Ljubljana native, who has already made his debut for Salernitana before the international break in a match against Mantova.
Stojanović: “I Feel Better as a Right-Back”
During his presentation, Stojanović was also asked about his preferred position. Traditionally, he has been known as a right-back, but Slovenian national team coach Matjaž Kek has used him as a right winger in recent years, and it seems to have worked well.
“I am a right-back, but I can also play quite high up the field. I can also be a right winger. I prefer the first position, but it’s always up to the coach to decide how and what. I always try my best. In any case, I am attack-minded and enjoy participating in offensive plays,” explained the 28-year-old. He also highlighted three coaches who have significantly impacted his career: “In Zagreb, I was coached by the exceptional Nenad Bjelica, I have a high opinion of my first coach in Italy, Aurelio Andreazzoli, and, of course, my national team coach Matjaž Kek.”
