Malmo / Stockholm. A Champions League qualifier exit = the end of Malmö FF for Milos Milojevic?
The coach answered questions about his future after the apparent loss to Zalgiris Vilnius and equally clear calls for his resignation.
They shouted things I don’t like hearing. That’s not a question for me, Milojevic says.
In Allsvenskan, the defending champions are fifth, but a shaky start to the season will be saved by qualifying for the Champions League.
However, nothing came of that, and after Wednesday’s 2-0 loss at home to Zalgiris Vilnius, there were calls for the coach to resign from the stands.
Milojevic disappointed
also Milos Milojevic He was – of course – disappointed after being knocked out in the Champions League qualifiers.
All the boys are very disappointed and we know we have to do better. The players gave one hundred percent but that was not enough. We had a really good opponent who was flush with them and their game plan was executed. We were about to score but they punished us on the counter-attack, says the coach.
Milos Milojevic says he takes responsibility for the loss and that he didn’t hear exactly what the fans were screaming after the match.
No, but I understand their frustration. They were there for us for 90 minutes but we failed to ride the wave. Milojevic says they were better than we were on the pitch today.
Management decides.
Then he heard that the audience shouted “Milos out.”
– I am not happy, but they have the right to shout whatever they want, says Milojevich.
– They have their right. They paid their tickets. They were shouting things I didn’t like to hear. But that’s not a question for me, it’s for the club managers and my boss above me.
Milojevic can’t answer for himself what the future as an MFF coach will look like.
– It’s something that the management decides, not me. He says it was not me who hired myself.
– Now I’m a Malmö coach and I work 24 hours a day until they say otherwise. I’ll let you know when something else happens.
