Red Star Belgrade undergoes management and financial shifts
Overview
Red Star Belgrade (Crvena Zvezda) continues to navigate tactical and financial transitions following the appointment of head coach Albert Riera. On the pitch, the team is working to recover from a significant 5-1 defeat against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League qualifiers. Most recently, the club secured a 2-0 victory against Zemun in the seventh round of the Serbian Superliga. Following the match, Riera praised the squad’s character and commitment, noting that he is still acclimating to the team after roughly 12 to 13 days in charge. The club is now shifting focus toward the 180th eternal derby against Partizan. Following the intensity of the derby, Riera has noted the physical toll on the squad, stating that players were not in optimal physical condition due to the stress of high-stakes matches. Looking ahead to a fixture against Radnik Surdulica, the team faces further challenges with Rade Krunić expected to miss matches due to injury. Riera described Krunić as a “vital professional and a key presence both on and off the pitch.” In a rescheduled third-round Serbian Superliga match, Red Star Belgrade drew 0-0 against Radnik Surdulica, ending a six-match winning streak. Despite dominating play through Aleksandar Katai and Abu Fani, the team struggled with clinical finishing. Riera expressed satisfaction with the tactical execution but noted a lack of control in the final quarter of the game. He reiterated his commitment to squad rotation to manage the schedule, stating, “I do not guarantee minutes to anyone. Every match is different.” The squad also faces the continued absence of Krunić and the exclusion of veteran Marko Arnautović from the matchday lineup. Financially, the club faces a substantial deficit due to its European exit.
