– Dinamo Bucharest statement
Zeljko Kopic has been at Dinamo since the beginning of December 2023. It then came to Ovidiu Burcă and saved the team from relegation, despite the fact that the red-blue were below the line until the end of the season. He managed to take the Bucharest residents to the dam and stayed in Superliga after 3-1 overall with Csikszereda.
And this season, the first complete season on Dinamo's bench, Kopic led “dogs” into the play-off, turning the team into a revelation of the superlig.
