Every time one of the biggest clubs in Croatia searches for a new coach, it doesn’t go without experts from Slovenia. The go-to name in the local media there is always Matjaž Kek, who has been “a candidate” several times for both Dinamo from Zagreb and also Hajduk. The latter is again looking for a new coach, not long ago Matjaž Kek was mentioned again, but now also in the mix for a move to Poljud is … Ante Šimundža!
Regarding the news that Ante Šimundža could be a candidate for the Hajduk bench, Germanijak reports that the club’s leadership is also considering Goran Tomić, who currently works in the United Arab Emirates, where he coaches Al Bataeh. Ante Šimundža, who is achieving excellent results this year with Maribor, also has a current employer. But significant changes are on the horizon for the latter, as his arrival at Ljudski vrt has been announced by Acun Ilicali. The wealthy Turk will bring both money and certainly different plans and vision with him, so it will be interesting to see what will happen after his arrival.
Is it realistic for Ante Šimundža to part ways with the bench of the purple team? It’s too early to say. As well as whether a move to hot Dalmatia would even interest him. Well, leading Hajduk is a unique challenge, but at the same time a very, very thankless task.
The Split team hasn’t been champions for two decades, and they didn’t succeed this year either, even when everything seemed like it would finally be their year. When it became clear that they wouldn’t be champions or cup winners, tectonic shifts occurred at Poljud. The club got a new president, and the desire for the position of sporting director is the legendary Alen Bokšić, and a new coach will also come. Ante Šimundža? Let’s wait and see.
