Here's the type of coach Boban wants to bring to Dinamo: His football philosophy reveals what awaits the players

Jutarnji listIndependentCenterNov 3

Dinamo Zagreb president Zvonimir Boban has delegated the search for a new head coach to his assistant, Albert Capellas, signaling a preference for Spanish managerial talent. The primary candidate, Oscar Garcia, faces significant obstacles after the owner of his current club, Pogon Szczecin, publicly rejected transfer inquiries from Dinamo and individuals linked to former Dinamo boss Zdravko Mamici. The article notes that while Spanish coaches hold 47 positions across top European leagues, this statistic is inflated by their dominance in lower-tier divisions like Andorra and Gibraltar. Despite this, Spain remains well-represented in elite competitions, including the English Premier League and Bundesliga, where managers like Luis Enrique and Carles Martinez Novell are currently employed.

The article profiles Spanish football coach Oscar Garcia, who is currently managing Polish club Pogon Szczecin and has been linked with a move to HNK Dinamo Zagreb under sporting director Robert Prosinecki (Boban). It notes that Pogon owner Alex Haditaghi has refused offers up to three million euros for Garcia, while claims circulate that both current Dinamo management and representatives of former owner Zdravko Mamica have expressed interest. Drawing on an interview with Polish outlet WP Sportowe Fakty, the piece outlines Garcia's tactical philosophy, which he describes as combining Barcelona-style ball possession with Red Bull-style aggressive pressing out of possession. The report highlights that Garcia learned these principles from figures like Johan Cruyff, Pep Guardiola, and Luis Enrique during his time at Barcelona. Additionally, the article mentions Garcia's approach to squad hierarchy, noting that he reduced the starting role of Polish star Kamil Grosicki upon arriving at Pogon, emphasizing team needs over individual status.

Alex Haditaghi, owner of Polish club Pogoń Szczecin, claims that individuals identifying themselves as intermediaries for former Dinamo Zagreb president Zlatko Mamić contacted him regarding Spanish coach Óscar García. Haditaghi stated that current Dinamo president Zvonimir Boban subsequently called the club’s executive director but did not contact him directly, despite having his phone number. Both parties allegedly informed Haditaghi that they had been negotiating with García for weeks, a move the owner described as unprofessional and disrespectful. He emphasized that García signed a three-year contract without a release clause and is currently enjoying a successful start with five consecutive wins. Haditaghi expressed frustration with the approach, stating he expected more professionalism from a historic club like Dinamo, and confirmed he has no intention of selling the coach.
