To a journalist’s question about what Zrinjski needs in the context of certain changes in order to be more competitive next seasonsaid that Zrinjski, regardless of the changes, will be competitive when it comes to Bosnia and Herzegovina. league.
Zrinjski is a club with winning mentalitywith a habit of winning and winning trophies. However, what I want is to think further, within the framework of what awaits us in Europe. We can already see that all these clubs, about thirty of them who are waiting for us in the preliminaries of the Conference League, represent extremely serious clubs, regardless of the fact that they do not have attractive names. There are attractive names among them, let’s be clear, but most of them are not attractive, but they are very well organized, hungry for success and it will not be pleasant. Therefore, we must think about that step and accordingly fill the staff who will be able to deal with such challenges. To ensure Zrinjska another year of hope for European successadded Štimac.
He pointed out how it is over the past ten months spent in Mostar.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in Mostar, in the club and around it, people above all for their hospitality and for making me feel at home, at home. I think we did great things togetherraised the bar even higher than Zrinjski had in previous years. We must now continue to work hard, plan carefully because we are not a club that has a budget that we can sleep on. Therefore, we must be diligent, not rest on our laurels. We had a successful season, both in Europe and when it comes to domestic trophies, but of course, you should always be awake and work hard and I hope it will be like thatconcluded Štimac.
