It was announced last week that Dinamo Zagreb head coach Zoran Mamić has stepped down from his position at the club and will be taking a coaching job with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.
Mamic made the announcement at a tearful press conference and cited difficulties with his daughter as the reason for leaving.
“This was a very hard decision to make, but I figured it was for my family and me to the best solution. The last event was about my daughter and was the last straw and I decided that I should go. I had a very tough last year and we pushed in the best way and I do not think that I could continue, but I decided for the family. I’ve got one of the biggest clubs in Asia, which has a lot of fans and who want trophies, I know what to expect, we know what kind of country Saudi Arabia is. But I believe we can achieve the goals and the right result and we will open up space for other coaches,” Mamic said during the press conference.
Mamic’s daughter, Nina, was detained for sending threatening messages to her former boyfriend and his mother.
The complaint was eventually withdrawn, and was released from custody.
The legendary Cico Krajnčar will be replacing Mamic at the helm of Dinamo.
Mamic was the longest-tenured coach in Dinamo history, leading the team through three seasons. He has also been one of the most successful coaches, securing three titles, two Croatian Cups, and defeating the likes of Arsenal in the Champions League.
Cico Kranjčar most recently coached in Qatar and also coached Dinamo for a season in 1998. The club remains confident that Kranjcar will pick up here Zoran left off.
The monetary amount for either coach was not disclosed. Also, assumptions have been made that both Zoran and his daughter are conveniently leaving the country in an attempt to evade law enforcement. Zoran and his brother Zdravko are being investigated for tax fraud.
This has to go down as the ugliest european championships of all time, brazil vs uganda. 2 weeks of short ugly greasy portchugeese guys with multiple waving flags on their cars like they already won, the women not much different with just slightly less facial hair, this euro 2016 is an eyesore and pathetic.
actually you’re wromg, portuguese are mostly offspring of saracens and north african muslims, more like berbers, libyans or morrocans, learn your history.
The sad sad sad state of Ruropean football, the Euros now for the most part is just club football, how exactly “European” is it? Can someone explain? Its looks more like team Brazil vs team Cameroon,mostly fixed, pathetic and one big fn”European” joke, govno i sranje, just another money making scheme just like the world cup
why dont you go sing and dance serbo chetnik music fuckos
why do so many portygals have those mongoiid squished faces? so many black haired midgets and those eyebrow and eyes, like theyre all part of some genetic freak family lineage, all mongoloid inbred eyebrowed cousins
Time to get rid of the crne liste next
What Ziva said, Zoran had a kings welcome at the airport when he arrived.
I’d assume Little Mamic chose Saudi Arabia so that he will not get extradited to face trial in Croatia.
News flash- Cacic just fixed his Sony Walkman and rewired an old headset- said it was a victorious day
I’d love to be an alcoholic, just don’t have the time or money.
Haha, if it is legendary for drinking, i would like to challenge his crown 😉
^ ^
Sounds like u might have something in common… With most Hrvati!
@rx LOL
Also can i ask on this:
The legendary Cico Krajnčar will be replacing Mamic at the helm of Dinamo.
I don’t really know Cico’s background other than when he coached the repka but can someone tell me why he’s legendary or whether that is sarcastic or what have you? Genuine question; i honestly dont know – legendary for his drinking or?
lol @ Cico being hired….
sorta shows you what we have to work with when it comes to coaches in Cro.
This is good. We need Mamic as the national head coach. Turn these boys around finally.
Welcome back, Ziva ! I missed you !! <3
Cacic and Hodgeson looking similar
The opposite. Foreign coaches are treated like gold in the middue east.
Based on previous hires, this move now places Mamic in position to be the national team coach within a few years.
“assumptions have been made that both Zoran and his daughter are conveniently leaving the country in an attempt to evade law enforcement. Zoran and his brother Zdravko are being investigated for tax fraud.”
Honestly, going to Saudi Arabia is probably worse than a prison sentence in Cro.
Too bad Niko signed with Rangers. Could have had another stint of him forcing his son into the starting 11 while better players ride the bench.
Sad to see him go, but I’d like to wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
