July 6, 2020 – Dinamo announced on Monday that it terminated the contract with coach Igor Jovicevic after the Zagreb club’s 0:2 defeat against Rijeka.
“I had the best intentions, but football is like that. The ball didn’t come back to me this time, but I’m leaving my club with my head up because I don’t want to be a burden in these times. I thank the club for the trust, for the wonderful years in the football school. I will always be a Dinamo player and I believe that this is just a goodbye, not a farewell to my favorite club,” said Igor Jovicevic on Index.hr.
“We are sorry for such a quick departure, but we must show responsibility in these difficult times. On behalf of the club, I thank Igor for the great results he achieved with our junior team. The doors of Dinamo will always be open to him,” said club sports director Zoran Mamic.
Dinamo will inform the fans about the new coach in a timely manner.
Jovicevic took over Dinamo on April 22 after the club parted ways with Nenad Bjelica due to a dispute over reducing his contract due to the coronavirus crisis.
The new Dinamo coach was at the helm of a team that played a great Champions League campaign, though he only won three of seven games. Namely, against Varazdin, Slaven Belupo and Inter Zapresic.
