Comment from Petar Bozic HC

The first season flew by—it was full of challenges, and we gained invaluable experience that will serve as a crucial foundation for a more successful future.

I feel truly honored and happy to have the opportunity to work with such great people, and that as a group we share the desire and determination to improve and grow every single day.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the club’s management for their constant support, trust, and the opportunity to continue building our path toward our shared goals together.

It has been an immense pleasure to perform in front of our most loyal fans. They followed us across the country, filled the arena to capacity, and supported us wholeheartedly regardless of the results. I have great admiration for them and everything they do for the club we all love. We will miss them greatly during the offseason and eagerly look forward to being reunited from August.
