Udinese sacks Slovenian and brings in Croatian: Jani Sturm is no longer coach of the youth team of the Italian top-flight club Udinese Udinese
Last year
Udinese
was promoted to the first youth league, but this year he was relegated back to the second. Last year he was celebrated, this year… fired! Jani Sturm, a former footballer from Slovenia, is no longer the youth coach of Italian top-flight side Udinese Vidmo. He lost his job, as it is said, after Udinese was relegated from Primavera 1 to Primavera 2. Jani Sturm is expected to continue his career in Italian youth football, with several clubs inviting him to Serie D and Udinese quickly finding a replacement for him.
Udinese youth players, for whom two Slovenian players have played this season David Pejicic and Bor Žunec, have been taken over by former Croatian footballer Igor Bubnjić. The 30-year-old professional retired from Hibernian in 2019 due to injuries, having previously been a member of Udinese for five years. He has played twice for the Croatian national team and is now embarking on his first coaching role of his career.
