Žan Vipotnik is looking forward to working with Alberto Riera: “He has proven to be a good coach with good character and a winning mentality.”
Bordeaux is preparing to officially appoint a new coach, with Albert Riera taking over the reins at the Ligue 2 club. Celje will be without a quality coach, but in return will get at least €600,000 in compensation. Celje will now be managed by Damir Krznar, and Albert Riera will continue to work with the Slovene after his farewell to Slovenia. Žan Vipotnik is also a member of Bordeaux and is looking forward to working with the former Olimpija coach.
“He has proven himself in Slovenia as a good coach with good character and a winning mentality,” said Žan Vipotnik at Brdo pri Kranju, where he is preparing for the matches against Finland and Northern Ireland with the Slovenian national team. The former Maribor player added: “For me, he is a really good coach. We haven’t exchanged many words before, but I appreciate him very much. I follow what’s going on in Slovenian football, it would be hard to miss what’s going on at the moment (laughs). It’s a bit of a change, and I’m a fan of changing coaches as little as possible to build up.“
