Lino Cervar is no longer the coach of Zagreb CO! Two days after the unexpected defeat against Chambery with 30:32 in the 'Ice hall', a mutually agreed termination of deal happened between the coach and the management of Zagreb CO. The Croatia coach explained all that with 'health, morale and principle reasons', knowing that right now the chance for Zagreb CO for advancing in the top 8 is very small, the team has to win all remaining 3 games (two times against Celje, and one against Chambery in France), but even then, they're not for sure in the quarter-final. Until the end of season, the team will be managed by the two assistants, Senjanin Maglajlija i Mirko Basic.
The earthquake in the Croatian champion, will not only end with Cervar's departure from the club, but also the players will be punished with 1 month fine, if they fail to qualify for the quarter-final. Unhappy with the contribution from some players, the management said that after the 2nd round of the Champions League, they will also put 5-6 players on the transfer list. Regarding strengthening the squad, the young goalkeeper Ivan Pesic is mentioned, who was recently injured in the Veszprem tragedy, and 'three croatian and one foreign player', but it's also clear that next summer because of the financial crisis and impossibility of finding sponsors, Zagreb will have to lower their budget.
