Article body
Bosnia-Herzegovnian club NK Travnik have appointed Dragan Jovic as their new coach, while Croatian Vjekoslav Lokica has been named coach of NK Posušje.
Jovic success
Jovic replaces Hajrudin Djurbuzovic who saved Travnik from relegation on the final day of last season. He joins the club from NK Vitez, who he led to promotion to the Premier League last term.
'Strong potential'
"Travnik were strong last season, and I am convinced that this trend will continue," Jovic said. "We have the potential to avoid relegation and to achieve much more."
Extensive experience
Lokica comes to Posušje from Croatian side NK Marsonia, who he joined last March but could not prevent from finishing bottom of the First League. He has extensive experience of coaching in the Croatian top flight, having previously been in charge of NK Rijeka, NK Slaven Belupo, NK Osijek and HNK Sibenik.
'Great challenge'
Lokica replaces Vinko Jurišic, the third of three coaches at Posušje last season, and is looking forward to the challenge ahead. "It is a great challenge to coach a club in Bosnia," Lokica said. "I hope that Posušje will play even better this season and reach the top of the table." Posušje finished tenth in the Premier League last season.
