The surprising news is that Branko Karačić was replaced while Vukovar is in first place in the First NL, and as things stand, Gordon Schildenfeld becomes the new coach.
It will be the former Croatian national team member’s first independent coaching job after previously working as an assistant in the junior team of Aris Limassol. He has a really rich playing career behind him, after his native Šibenik, he wore the jersey of Dinamo, Bešiktaš, Duisburg, Sturm, Eintracht, PAOK, Panathinaikos, Anarthosis and Aris Limassol, while he played 30 games for Croatia and scored one goal.
Until the confirmation of this news from the club, we were unable to publish this text. If the information turns out to be correct, Schildenfeld will make his debut on the Vukovar bench in the big derby against Dubrava in Borovo, followed by a visit to Kantrida near Opatija, with which they share the leading position. Not an easy job, there is no time for any big changes, points are necessary to go to the winter break at the top of the rankings.
