The coach of the Red Star Belgrade, Diane Stankovic, resigned from his position after the elimination against Maccabi Haifa in the playoff phase of the Champions League.
Stankovic took responsibility for what was defined in Serbia as a "professional failure", but at the same time, this is an incredible figure precisely in terms of Maccabi Haifa.
The reason for this is that all the coaches who met the Israeli champions in the Champions League qualifiers paid with their jobs.
Pedro Martinez was fired from Olympiakos after the humiliating 4-0 in Piraeus and elimination in the second qualifying round of the prestigious establishment.
After that, Haifa met Alexander Zorniger and Apollon Limassol.
He also defeated the Cypriot champion Haifa 0-4 and after a 2-0 loss in the second leg, the German went home.
Now as mentioned, Stankovic is the third to pay in his position after a meeting with Barak Becher and his players.
"The Red Star is my great love, an indescribable emotion. Now, after the third attempt to qualify for the Champions League with it, I feel empty, because I didn't fulfill my mission. I can't continue. I did my best. Now someone else has to try. For me, three These years are the most beautiful part of my soccer life, something that built me even more, made me better and better.
Thanks to the players, management and fans who are responsible for this.
I always felt their support.
That's exactly why I made the decision to leave as a thank you and to wish that the star always leads.
Thank you all for a wonderful time at "Maracana".
I believe that the club will see more beautiful years, and I will always be there for it, always with all my heart, because the star is life, and the rest are small things," Stankovic explained his decision.
The club said: "We thank Diane Stankovic for his work so far and for all the results. Our doors will always be open for him - he is part of the club forever."
