Godfather about the end of Weissa: There was no penetration of ideas – ŠPORT.SK

today 15:20 | He sat on the bench of Slovan Bratislava in May 2021. In a year in the service of the reigning master, he achieved enough. We are talking about an experienced coach Vladimír Weiss Sr., who yesterday closed his team in the team from Tehelné pole. Coach VLADIMÍR WEISS st. He finished on the bench of the championship ŠK Slovan Bratislava. The 57-year-old coach did not take credit for achieving these goals, but those from last year belong to him 100%. He led Belasých to win the title after the duo of the sixth superstructure round on the Ružomberok field (0: 0), Slovan also got to the cup final under his leadership, where he was not enough for Trnava (1: 2 pp). The people of Bratislava achieved success on the international scene. Despite the qualification of the European Cups, they advanced to the Conference League, in which the competition of the Danish FC Copenhagen, the Greek FC PAOK and the Gibraltar Lincoln Red Imps won non-promotion, but for the Slovak club in the group stage of one of the European competitions a record eight points. No wonder that Vladimír Weiss st. the award for the best coach in the league has passed. However, even the positive results did not bring peace in the Slovan camp. The change in the implementation team after a successful season is related to the fact that the two most important men in the club did not agree on the philosophy of building staff. Vladimir Weiss st. he argued that if Slovan wanted to be successful in the international arena in the long run, the team must be rebuilt. “There is a certain quality here, but in order to fulfill our dreams, we must learn from the mistakes of transfer policy and complete the staff. Of course, the club owner has one vision, some people have others, I have others. When we meet with some intention that it should continue the logic, it is possible and if not, life will go on, “said Vladimír Weiss st. “We need a coach who can work with players. We are not Real Madrid and we cannot afford to still exchange ten – twelve players. It’s not about that. We are not so economically strong, “said Ivan Kmotrík Jr. about ten minutes earlier. After the season, both sides had to sit at one table and find penetrations. However, they did not succeed, as confirmed by the white boss in a statement on the website. “First of all, I would like to thank Coach Weiss for his cooperation and everything he did for our club. We have agreed to end mutual cooperation with immediate effect. We have mentioned several times the need to stabilize the economic situation in the club. Coach Weiss has repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current staff. However, as a club, we are not currently in a situation where we can afford to rebuild the staff again and immediately, which requires large funds. Our ideas simply did not agree on this point. There was no intersection between our possibilities and the coach’s ideas. Therefore, it was not realistic to offer the coach a proposal for further cooperation, or to solve the extension of the contract. Finally, our paths diverge and Vladimir Weiss st. we wish you all the best for the future, “said Ivan Kmotrík Jr., the club’s general director, whose task now is to find a new coach.

In this situation, we need a coach who will be identified with the current staff and will focus on getting the most out of this team, “added Ivan Kmotrík Jr. We can only guess at the name of the new Slovan Bratislava coach at this time. During the spring, the English coach with Serbian roots Nestor El Maestro also watched some meetings of the whites, who in the summer of 2018 led the rival FC Spartak Trnava to the title after 45 years of waiting. However, reports from Brick Field suggest that this is not a hot trail. The information that the coach of Ružomberok, Peter Struhár, who brought Lipták to second place last season, could not have passed to Tehelné pole was not confirmed either. He agreed with MFK to extend the cooperation. According to the latest reports, Czech coach Karel Jarolím, who led Slovan more than ten years ago (2010-2011), could return to Slovan. And where could Vladimir Weiss Sr. go? It is already a public secret that FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda is interested in its services. However, after the release of Štefan Tarkovič from the post of chief helmsman of the Slovak national team, he immediately became a favorite for the national team coach, which he had already successfully led in the past. Recall that it was Vladimír Weiss Sr., under whose coaching patronage Slovakia got to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where the team around captain Marek Hamšík reworked after the victory over the reigning world champions from Italy (3: 2) to the eighth finals. , where he lost after a close defeat to the Netherlands (1: 2). SPORTS COMMENT: Veľká škoda Departure of Vladimír Weiss st. from Slovan Bratislava there is no surprise. Rather, we can talk about the logical outcome of the story. His view of football was so different from that of Ivan Kmotrík Jr. that there was no going back. An experienced helmsman is not one of those who holds his place at all costs. Vladimir Weiss st. is the best and most successful Slovak coach. The white team was able to move forward in the short term. That wasn’t enough for him. Having already crossed international waters, he knows well what needs to be done to succeed not only in his own area. His own hard work. Before it starts, it always sets a goal, names mistakes and then looks for a way to eliminate them and improve things. And that’s when the problem arose. Vladimír Weiss came to the club in order to get him to the level of strong brands from this region. The ambitions were clear – to make the white regulars of the European Cups – and the dream was to attract Real Madrid to the Brick Field once. However, you will not play in the Conference League with Real Madrid. And with the current staff of the Slavs, it is difficult to advance to the Champions League, or at least to the European League. For that, you have to manage duels with rivals, which the whites in the past could not overcome even once. We mean teams like Young Boys Bern, Olympiakos Piraeus, FC Copenhagen and FC PAOK. With the effort of all forces and thanks to the controlled defense, our master was able to play with opponents of this caliber of the draw, but sometimes the performance of the Slavs was not even a point. Belas have many good players, but like Vladimir Weiss st. often mentioned on our league. However, football is evolving rapidly and a seasoned coach following modern trends knows this well. Today, what led to the success in 2019, when the club from Tehelné pole was a participant in the European League, is no longer enough. Football has become ball athletics, so to speak. It is not enough if the player is just handy. Football is about data, about running kilometers in high intensity, about great strength readiness, about high speed. As players suddenly lack one important component for success, a problem arises. And Vladimír Weiss felt that he had too many of them in the staff to allow his team to push the teams of the above-mentioned clubs around the field. Too bad it turned out that way and that he didn’t find understanding. However, it would be even more pity if what happened in August 2012. Vladimír Weiss ended up in Slovan for the first time at that time and disappeared from Slovak football for almost ten years. Foreign interested parties see the quality and will certainly try to rope it beyond the borders. That is why it is important that the goal of the goal is now shown by the Slovak Football Association. The questionnaires took place in the winter, now they need to be repeated. Let an experienced helmsman help where there are many robots and where our entire football can benefit from his qualities.
