Interview with Bjelica:

“Croatia can be a role model for Austria at the European Championships”

Where he always wanted to be - in a top European league. Former WAC and Austria Wien coach Nenad Bjelica has made it. For eleven games now, the Klagenfurt-based coach has not only led Union Berlin, but also led them into calmer waters.

"Krone": Mr. Bjelica, when you started as a player-coach at regional league club FC Kärnten back in 2007, your big goal was a first division in Germany, Italy or Spain - now, 17 years later, you've made it.
Nenad Bjelica: The dream of a top league has come true - and I can say that I have shown that I can also hold my own at this level.
