What will the defeat in the 156th eternal derby, in which Maribor won 2-1 at Stožice on Wednesday, bring to the club from Ljubljana? And most importantly, the key question: will Zoran Zeljković survive the failure against the great rival from the capital of Styria? Rumors are growing louder that the leadership of Olimpija is seriously considering a change in the coaching staff! Interestingly, the club’s managing director, Igor Barišić, supported Zeljković just a few days ago, as did the president, Adam Delius. But after the defeat to Maribor, things are said to have changed significantly.
The fact that Zoran Zeljković is sitting on the hot seat despite all the words spoken suggests that not long ago, Tomislav Stipić was in the Slovenian capital, whom Olimpija labeled as a coach who is certainly not a candidate to take over the Dragons. Nevertheless, according to our information, discussions undoubtedly took place, and the club’s leadership was then primarily angry that the whole story came out into the public.
The problem for Olimpija could be the contract signed by Zoran Zeljković. Early termination entails significant financial consequences. However, the support Zoran Zeljković publicly received a few days ago could quickly fade, but in any case, it seems that the next days and weeks at Stožice will be eventful.
