The question was rather legitimate, after a fourth place at the Olympic Games last summer, and an elimination in the quarter-finals at the EuroBasket this year, against Poland: the place of the head coach of Aleksander Sekulic on the bench of the Slovenian national team was she now in danger?
To this question, Matej Ervajec, the president of the Slovenian federation, gave a clear answer: the tactician, hired in 2020 ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, will remain in post until the end of his contract, next year. .
” Aleksander Sekulic is under contract until the end of 2023 recalled Matej Ervajec. ” And he’s a great coach. But at the end of a competition like the Euro, it is normal to take a step back and analyze the situation. Even if we had finished champions, I would have made the same speech.”
The Slovenian coach will therefore still be in post for the 2023 World Cup, next summer, with no doubt a lot of pressure: in the event of the absence of a medal, his contract will probably not be extended…
