Osijek after 27 rounds was not worse for nine years, but then the players didn’t even have for coffee …

Summary Istria 1961 – Osijek
All matches of the HNL Supersport HNL only look at MaxSport channel of Croatian Telecom.
Nepalc’s magnificent achievement was recorded by Netflix cameras in the documentary series « 14 Vrhs: Nothing is impossible. » Purja and his team fought with extreme colds, ozebline, oxygen deficiency … Yet, all this, if we are to hyperbolize, seems like a children’s game for what Simon Rozman Waiting for Osijek.
The Slovenian took the first team from Drava a few days ago and lost 2-1 to Istria at Istria. The « white-blue » are after 27 rounds in a catastrophic eighth place with only 31 points. And the goal is to place in the top 4 and go to Europe … Dinamo is a world for itself, followed by Hajduk, while Rijeka and Osijek have a similar pay power.
And that’s why these games like this are in the eye of all Osijek fans. The « white-blue » are seven games in the championship without winning (six losses and draws). After 27 championship games, the weaker have only been three times since the league 10.
In season 13/14. They kept a phenjar with 16 points. The season later they were also the tenth, but with 23 points. A year later, after 27 rounds, they were eighth with 24 points. In those years, Osijek players literally told us, they didn’t even have coffee.

The next season (16/17), the club is completely taken over by the Hungarian investors and Osijek is third with 50 points after 27 rounds. And what to say on 61 points after 27 rounds from the 20/21 season. It looks like science fiction from this perspective. Vlado Čohar For years, Osijek’s chief operative, and has shown that he has shown himself at the end of 2023.
Then he brought Zoran Zekic for the coach and only a few months later a sports director Jose Bot. In all football developed countries, they first bring the creators of sports policy or sports director, and then the support of the coach is supported by the administration. Not Osijek.
Despite everything, Zekic pulled out the situation and ended up among the four best teams and went to Europe. He was fired for the « Award », since Jose Boto installed his man, Federica Coppitellija, in the place of the coach. He is only 40 years old to the Italian and has led mostly younger categories throughout Osijek across « boots ». The only senior team he led was the third -team player Imolese.
« No worries, Coppitelli is a man who has a capacity to lead clubs like City one day, » Boto assured. We would agree. But not to run Manchester City, but Tuzla City in the second rank of Bosnian football.
Boto had previously worked as the head of the Benfice and Shakhtar scout and in PAOK as a sports director. On paper, impressive summary. However, this summer, some people close to Darija Srni, who has been Sport Director of Shakhtar since 2020, have told us that the legendary Croatian footballer has no high opinion about Bot.
The Portuguese (this winter went to Flamengo) said in a media output that Zekic had gotten rid of it because he wanted to raise the level of professionalism at the club. He said that he was not well enough in the youth plants of our clubs … He devoured the Croatian coaching profession.
If Coppitelli is for Manchester City, which is then Mario Kovacevic, who took over Slaven in the sixth round, when the « pharmacists » had only one point on the account. If we watch the table only from Kovacevic’s arrival in Koprivnica, Slaven is third with 37 points from 22 games.
He won so much Hajduk (in 21 games). Rijeka scored the highest, 39 points from the sixth to the 27th round. Dynamo, for his opportunities, won a modest 32 points in 21 games. Let’s add that Kovacevic entered the semi -finals of the Cup.
Well, we don’t even have to do about Kovacevic … What about Silvija Cabraj, Samir Toplak … People who have done miracles with miserable budgets and quality teams for years, and they never got the opportunity to run a club from our « Great Four ». Rozman may be a miracle and manages to win Europe, but what will be next season?
The aforementioned Čohar recently announced that Osijek would fight for the title next season. Okay, maybe we’re looking a little too far … Maybe it’s not all a Rozman’s problem.
Osijek has no new sports director yet. And when a new one comes, he may bring « his » coach. How did Einstein define human stupidity? Constantly doing the same things, and expecting a different result, is it?
