Slovenian football has been shaken by the news of an expected coaching change at Maribor, with Ante Šimundža reportedly on the verge of leaving. According to Ekipa, the fate of the Violet coach is all but sealed, and Sportklub now adds that a final decision will be made at this afternoon’s crisis meeting at Ljudski vrt. Ante Šimundža has been invited to attend, and under such circumstances, the outlook is rarely favorable.
Ante Šimundža found himself in trouble following the loss in Sunday’s Štajerska derby, where Celje won 2-1. This marked Maribor’s second consecutive loss to their Celje rivals in less than a month. Additionally, Šimundža’s team narrowly missed qualifying for the group stage of the Conference League over the summer, which undoubtedly diminished his standing.
Sportklub further reports that Ante Šimundža has been under close scrutiny from Turkish investors for some time, led by wealthy businessman Acun Ilicali, who also owns Hull City. Apparently, the Štajerska expert is not on the “same wavelength” as the Turks, who reportedly were already searching over the summer for a specialist to take over Maribor’s first team in case of drastic measures.
