The coach work in RK Zagreb is certainly granted on a temporary basis. Velimir Petkovic had a half-year stint until the result against RK Nexe became a pitfall.
Zagreb announces Petkovic´s departure in respectful terms. A top position in the Premijer Liga, two points ahead of the fierce competitor who Zagreb tied with in the weekend game wasn´t enough on balance.
”Coach Petkovic and the club’s management agreed that it would be best for both parties to conclude cooperation by mutual agreement”, Zagreb states on their webpage.
Petkovic replaced Andrija Nikolic to make the 68-year-old resume duty in November.
– I would like to thank coach Petković for everything he did for our club during this period. He raised the team upon his arrival and with him we recorded some great results in the Champions League.
– Unfortunately, after we concluded our European season, the situation changed and the team no longer played at a satisfactory level. We felt certain dissatisfaction among a large number of players, both those who did not play for the most part and those who were used in the rotation, comments the general manager Bozidar Jovic to the club webpage.
