Is the next stop in Vladimir Ivitch’s career approaching? Today (Friday) it was reported in the Serbian and English media that the Serbian coach, who was fired just a month ago from Watford, is in the sights of Sheffield Wednesday – also the English Premier League. As you may recall, Ivica, who was very successful in Israel with two championships at Maccabi Tel Aviv, received interest from the Israeli champion, but will probably not return to it – due to the decision to continue with Patrick Van Leven until the end of the season.
Ivica started the current season as the Wasps’ coach, but as mentioned, he was surprisingly fired after only four months – according to the local media, due to a conflict with the star and “symbol” of the team, Troy Dini. The Serbian coach has also been mentioned over the past month as a candidate to coach the Serbian national team, but from the outset he was not considered a favorite for the job, and the one who will enter the job will be Luca Milojevic.
The Owls are looking for their third coach this season: Gary Monk was the one to open the current season, but was replaced in November by Tony Polis – who served as coach for just one month! And went home after 10 games in total, of which only one won. As of the 23rd round, Sheffield is only due to a goal difference above the red line – after six points were also deducted from the balance by the English Association. Ivica is also considered the leading candidate according to the betting agencies, with a ratio of 4/7, above well-known names Like Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy (who was just fired from Epoal Nicosia).
