Mario Brkljača is no longer the sporting director of Šibenik, a club that was relegated from the Supersport HNL as the last-placed team. He has found a new job as the sporting director of the Austrian second division club Austria Klagenfurt. The club is owned by the German sports group SEH Sports & Entertainment Holding, which also owns other clubs that were relegated from their leagues this season. Brkljača previously held the same position at Gorica and worked in the scouting department of the Split club. Other sports articles in the analysis are unrelated to this topic.
