Slovenian text: Igor Štimac on the bench of Mostar Zrinjski. PHOTO: Profimedia Zrinjski is expected to finish the season in second place, behind the winner Borac from Banja Luka. The 9-time Bosnian champions have left the main coach Igor Štimec, who has been responsible for a large number of controversies in the Bosnian league record, after the end of the competitive year.
According to reports from the local media, Albert Riera is taking over in the hot Mostar environment, which is still shaped by post-war resentments. The Spaniard, who made his coaching name in Slovenia, first worked at Olimpija, then at Celje, has behind him an unsuccessful episode at Eintracht from Frankfurt. Riera did not make a name for himself in Germany, and in the space of a year and a half, the club failed to reach the places that lead to European competitions.
The German football public did not like the Spanish way of communicating either.
