Velenje to get a new head of youth team: former player and coach Almir Sulejmanovic returns to Rudar
Last time he was at the
Mura
, which he left at the end of November last year. Partly because he was drawn back to youth football. But Almir Sulejmanović has not yet found a new employer. But that could change soon. As we have learned, the 45-year-old is about to return back to where it all began – Velenje.
Almir Sulejmanovic has proved his worth at Rudar in the past, both in a football jersey and on the coaching bench. In Velenje he started his playing career, which later took him to Celje, Belgium to Genk, Murska Sobota to Mura, Ukraine to Zorja, Albania to Elbasani and Skenderbeu, and the list goes on. As a footballer, Almir Sulejmanovic played 268 matches in his career in the
Telemach First League
!
When his career was over, he turned to coaching, which he started at Rudar. He started as a youth coach, then as an assistant coach of the youth team, and later he was twice the main man on the bench of the first team. He also proved his worth at Tabor in Sežana and – as mentioned – at Mora, where he managed the youth team until he was replaced by Matjaž Kek Jr. at Fazanerija.
Now, according to our information, Almir Sulejmanovic will return to Rudar as the new head of the youth team. Rudar also needs a licensed coach, as the youth team will play in the first league again next season. Zoran Pavlović, the unofficial coach of the youth team, does not have a proper coaching qualification.
