What he didn’t achieve with Olimpija, he did with Celje. Luka Menalo, a footballer from Bosnia and Herzegovina, contributed to winning the Slovenian championship title, and after successfully achieving the goal, he admitted that he doesn’t regret choosing the princely city. Even though, in winter, when it became clear that he would leave Dinamo from Zagreb, he also had numerous other offers. Among others, he was courted by Simon Rožman, who is currently still on the bench at Sarajevo, but will embark on new challenges in the summer.
“At that moment when I was leaving Dinamo, I had other offers from elsewhere, but I decided on Celje. There were some talks with Sarajevo, but it didn’t really go very far. It was all just informational. We differed on some things right from the start and quickly realized it wouldn’t work out. Simon Rožman had the most credit for this contact,” revealed 27-year-old Luka Menalo to the media in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The fleet-footed winger, who played 12 games for Celje in the spring, continued: “I have a very positive opinion about Simon Rožman and only have words of praise for him. I was in touch with him, we talked, but I assessed that perhaps it wasn’t time for that move in my career. In the end, I decided on Celje for some personal reasons, and I don’t think I made a mistake.”
Luka Menalo also touched on his future, as he is currently only loaned to Štajerska until the end of the calendar year. “Until the end of the year, I will play for Celje on loan, so my ambitions are currently tied only to this club. With Celje, I want to play as well as possible in Europe and qualify for the group stage of one of the European cups. For a club like Celje, that would be a great success. People at the club are very ambitious and have big plans and goals,” added Luka Menalo.
