Zeljko Kopic appointed head coach of Wieczysta Cracovia

Zeljko Kopic has officially been appointed as the new head coach of the Polish club Wieczysta Cracovia. Following his appointment, Kopic successfully advocated for his former Dinamo București colleague, Florentin Petre, to join his coaching staff as an assistant coach.

To secure Petre's position after the club showed initial reluctance to accept a large delegation of assistants, Kopic reportedly agreed to forfeit a portion of his own salary. Other staff members, including video analyst Cosmin Bujor and former goalkeeper coach Alessandro Caparco, may also join the project in Poland.

Reflecting on his departure from Dinamo București, Kopic expressed a deep emotional connection to the Romanian club, stating he would never work for a rival team. He noted that while leaving was a difficult decision, he believes it was the correct move for his career after two and a half years with the club.
