Nikolich could manage a top European club – Smorodskaya

Former president of "Lokomotiv" from Uzbekistan, Olga Smorodskaya, commented on the future prospects of Marko Nikolich, the head coach of Greece's AEK team. This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.

According to her, leaving the Russian Premier League (RPL) represents a significant opportunity for Nikolich to build a great career in Europe. In the future, he could manage one of Europe's leading clubs. It is worth noting that last season, Nikolich was the head coach of the CSKA team.

Under his leadership, the "army men" secured third place in the RPL and won the Russian Cup. After the season ended, Nikolich left the club in Russia and signed a contract with AEK.

In his place, Fabio Celestini, who previously worked at the "Bazel" club, came as the head coach for CSKA. Smorodskaya believes that a new team and new experience present Nikolich with a new opportunity for advancement in Europe. He is currently trying to take his professional career to a new level, and it is not out of the question that he will achieve success in this process.

Thus, Nikolich's activities are being closely monitored not only in Russia but also in Europe. His working style and strategy are being positively assessed by many specialists.
