The announcements were officially confirmed on Monday: Boštjan Cesar has become the new coach of the Slovenian giant Maribor. The former top defender signed a contract with the Štajerski club until 2027. The former assistant to Matjaž Kek in the Slovenian national team expressed his joy and pride at being entrusted with the management of this giant at the beginning of his coaching career, emphasizing his high ambitions for the club.
“I would like to thank NK Maribor and the decision-makers for choosing me, presenting the project, and giving me this opportunity. We know what Maribor means in Slovenia, the rich history it has, and I am honored to be part of the club’s future. I had a goal and a vision to stay connected to Slovenian football. This is a significant project, and I am very happy and proud to embark on this challenge together. I look forward to collaborating with the players; I have assembled a coaching staff with some new members, while also retaining those who have contributed significantly to the club so far,” Boštjan Cesar said on the club’s official website.
The 42-year-old from Ljubljana added upon arriving in the Štajerska capital: “Everyone who knows me understands my character. I will strive for us to be united on the pitch. The players will receive instructions that must be followed. Mr. Šimundža has done a lot of work; the team is in good shape, but I will try to implement certain tactical and technical innovations or changes. The goals are clear: to compete for trophies in Slovenia and qualify for European competitions, which aligns with my ambitions. I look forward to starting this journey together and believe it will be successful.“
