Union Berlin on the Brink of Securing Nenad Bjelica as New Coach
Rumors of Raúl's potential signing have been circulating, but it seems that Nenad Bjelica, the 52-year-old Croatian tactician, is set to take the reins at Bundesliga side Union Berlin instead, according to multiple reports. A contract signing is expected to take place this Sunday, as reported by Sky. Renowned Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio from Sky Sport Italia also shared similar sentiments.
Initially, "Kicker" hinted at Raúl taking charge, following the mutual separation between Union and long-standing successful coach Urs Fischer who had been struggling with a winless streak and a slide into the relegation zone.
Bjelica, who has experience in the Champions League with Dinamo Zagreb and Austria Vienna, brings valuable insights to Union Berlin. He has proven adaptability, having previous stints in both China and Italy, including managerial roles at Benevento and Udinese. Familiarity with the German language is prized by Union as they value having a head coach fluent in the local tongue.
Nenad Bjelica, an experienced coach with a unique blend of international experience and German fluency, is set to fill Urs Fischer's shoes at 1st FC Union Berlin. Having remained on the sidelines since October's departure from Trabzonspor, Bjelica's return to German football should provide a much-needed boost to the struggling Berlin-based club.
