Nenad Lalatović has finally fulfilled his father’s wish by taking over as the head coach of Budućnost Podgorica, one of the biggest clubs in the former Yugoslavia! In his first interview as the coach of the Montenegrin giant, Lalatović did not hide his excitement and ambitions. “Budućnost is a club I have always wanted to work for. For the last three or four years, I kept saying I would be the coach of Budućnost. Now the pieces have fallen into place, and I am happy about it,” said the Serbian coach. He added an emotional touch: “My father was born in Nikšić, I have a lot of family in Montenegro, and my dad always wanted me to work here. So, I fulfilled his wish.”
But Lalatović is not planning to stop there. He made it clear that he wants to dedicate five years of his life to the club, aiming to win the title and reach the group stage of European competitions. “We will play in front of the beautiful Podgorica crowd at the stadium. How will I be accepted? We’ll see. The most important thing is good games and results,” said the coach known for his energy and straightforward style.
This move is a real bombshell in the regional football scene! Budućnost Podgorica is getting a coach who not only has strong ties to Montenegro but also a huge desire to bring the club back to the top. Will Lalatović manage to meet the high expectations? One thing is for sure – it will be interesting to follow his work and the fans’ reactions.
While we wait for the first matches, we can only wonder – will Lalatović bring the title and European success that Budućnost deserves? Or will the pressure and expectations break him? In any case, the football drama in Podgorica is just beginning!
If you have your own take on this move or think Lalatović is biting off more than he can chew, feel free to drop a comment. It’s not every day a coach with such a story and ambition comes to Montenegro, so let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
