Although Oliver Bogatinov was recently appointed as the new coach of Koper, this week a rumor emerged in the Slovenian football community that he could step down soon and make way for Zoran Zeljković, who recently lost his job at Olimpija. The sensational news was first reported by Nogomania, and now Oliver Bogatinov has responded to EkipoSN, evidently not taking the written words lightly.
“Regarding the statements in your newspaper and website, where the name Oliver Bogatinov is used in the context of a possible replacement on the bench of Koper by colleague Zeljković, I feel obliged to respond and briefly present a different perspective and point of view. I believe that the author of these rumors is certainly not Zoran Zeljković, as he does not need self-promotion in this way. Secondly, Zoran certainly has not forgotten that he achieved his best coaching results precisely in Koper (second place in the championship and a cup trophy), during the period when Oliver Bogatinov was the sports director of the same club,” said the sharp Oliver Bogatinov, who led Radomlje before returning to Bonifika.
Oliver Bogatinov, who was once also an assistant coach at Olimpija and sports director at Maribor, continued: “Therefore, I believe that the author of these rumors is definitely someone who wants to harm both me personally and the football club Koper with false rumors. They indirectly want to portray it as a club without vision, where agreements do not hold, and where everything is possible and equally likely. In the context of the last match in Celje and three situations that harmed the team and consequently the club, the author may have wanted to divert attention elsewhere or portray the result as something negative. Our attention and the team’s attention are already focused elsewhere, specifically on the next match against Maribor. We decide our own fate and the desired fourth place.“
