This afternoon, a crisis meeting will take place at Ljudski vrt, where the fate of coach Ante Šimundža could be sealed. Many are saying that the chances of Ante Šimundža parting ways with the club are quite high, and rumors have already begun to circulate about who might take over the helm of the senior team at Maribor if the club’s management decides to look for a new coach. According to our sources, one of the candidates could even be … Boštjan Cesar!
This information is not yet confirmed and remains only a rumor for now. Whether it’s true or not is too early to say, especially since Maribor, for the time being, still has a coach. Boštjan Cesar also has a job, currently serving as an assistant to head coach Matjaž Kek with the Slovenian national team. However, being an assistant is, of course, quite different from independently managing a top-flight club, especially one as successful as Slovenia’s most decorated team. Ekipa also reports that Boštjan Cesar is indeed being considered as a candidate for the Maribor position.
Another name mentioned as a possible candidate to join Ljudski vrt in the event that Ante Šimundža departs is Sergej Jakirović. The Croatian coach, a familiar face in the Štajerska capital, previously managed Zrinjski, Rijeka, and most recently, Zagreb’s Dinamo. He already led Maribor in 2020.
