The decision of Boštjan Cesar to take over Maribor has caused a lot of commotion in Slovenian football. This is also because he entered the world of club coaching right in the middle of the October national team action. National team coach Matjaž Kek did not hide his annoyance, and even today he insists that Boštjan Cesar did not choose the right moment to part ways with the national team. However, Matjaž Kek fully understands him.
“He was given a great privilege in Slovenian football, as he became the coach of Maribor. But even today I still believe that the timing was not right. I welcome his decision and also understand his desire. If I didn’t understand it, I’d be crazy! After all, he took over Maribor. But I repeat: the timing was not right! And maybe at that time, not everyone was thinking in the best interest of Slovenian football,” said Matjaž Kek as a guest on the show Pod prečko on Sportklub, who – it could be understood – did not aim his criticism solely at Cesar, but also at the people from Ljudski vrt. Honestly, they could have waited until the end of the national team action…
Kek: “I’m very happy for him”
However, Boštjan Cesar and Matjaž Kek have gone their separate ways, but the former captain of the national team will always have a fan and supporter in the Slovenian coach. “Of course, I was cheering for Maribor and the fact is that I’m very happy for him. After all, I was the one who brought him into the national team… Boštjan will always have my biggest support. After the debut victory, I sent him a message, and I’m happy that Luka Brkljača and Milivoje Novaković were also at the match. It’s another proof of what we had in the national team,” added the 63-year-old Matjaž Kek during the show Pod prečko.
