Vladan Ivić received an application from PAUK Saloniki, the club where he ended his playing career and began his career as a coach. Trabzonspor and Besiktas, ranked 3rd and 4th respectively in the Turkish league at the moment, are also interested in his services.
Spartak Moscow postponed until the end of the season the decision to fire the current coach, Guizermo Abscal, and therefore the contacts between it and Ivic were suspended.
