Obrenovac opt for Ivanovic

Mihajlo Ivanovic has taken over as coach of FK Radnicki Obrenovac until the end of the season.

Fourth coach of the season
Ivanovic, who becomes the club's fourth coach of the season, will work alongside Velibor Djuric, who had been acting as caretaker coach following the departure of Cvijetin Blagojevic, but now assumes the role of assistant. Ivanovic began the season with FK Zemun but was sacked in December.

Djuric 'is our future'
Aleksandar Stefanovic, the Obrenovac president, explained the decision to bring in Ivanovic to work with Djuric. "We haven't dismissed Djuric, he is our future and he will stay at the club," he said. "But he is very young and we must have a coach with experience. Ivanovic will stay until June, when we will consider the best solution."
 
Eleventh in the table
In their debut season in the Prva savezna liga, Obrenovac have now changed coach three times. Bosko Djurovski gave way to Blagojevic who was replaced by Djuric, who had three matches in sole charge before Ivanovic's arrival. The Obrenovac board decided on his appointment after Wednesday's 4-2 home defeat by FK Rad which left them eleventh in the 18-team table.
