Bilic to remain as Croatia coach

July 26, 2008

Coach Slaven Bilic led the Croatia National Team superbly to the Euro2008 quarterfinals. After they were knocked out by the Turks, Bilic strongly considered quitting. He later revealed to the press, “When I saw all my players crying in the dressing room I thought, that is it, I’ve had enough of Football.”

However, the players on this team very much disagreed. It would be a shame if Bilic were to drop out before the 2010 World Cup where Croatia will once again meet England in the qualifiers as they did for the Euro. The whole team insisted that Bilic is the only one who can lead them to yet another victory over the English.

Later on Bilic stated, “I’ve decided that I must stay and that I must get us as far as I can in the World Cup. That is what I want to do for my country;” and well decided.
