Sports director Zoran Barisic
Rapid continues to rely on Zoran Barisic! The sports director's contract was prematurely extended by two years until 2024.
While Austria is going haywire, Rivale Rapid continues to invest in the future. A few days ago, coach Didi Kühbauer's contract was extended. On Thursday it was Zoran Barisic's turn. The sports director (in office since May 2019) agreed with club boss Martin Bruckner on a collaboration until 2024.
“Zoran Barisic has given the lie to many critics who did not trust him to do this job,” Bruckner is quoted as saying in a broadcast. “He is an essential factor that we are steadily improving again after the difficult phases in the 2016/17 and 2018/19 seasons. Zoki is not only a real rapid player, but an excellent specialist and exemplary team player who is also an extremely important part of our association with his social skills. “
Barisic himself says: “I am proud that I can carry out this important task at my heart club beyond the original contract period. We not only want to continue the good work we have done so far, we want to improve it. The current situation caused by the corona pandemic is more than challenging, but I am optimistic that we will not only survive this crisis, but will also come out of it stronger. “
