Former Serbian footballer Zeljko Ljubenovic, known for his years of performances in the Ukrainian championship (from 2006 to 2018), spoke about the professional qualities of his compatriot and the new head coach of Luhansk Zorya, Nenad Lalatovic.
Željko Lubenović"The main "plus" of Lalatovic is his coaching experience. He has been in that role for a long time and everywhere he has worked, he has had very good results. It is true that it concerns only the Serbian championship. I hope that the "plus" of this coach will also manifest itself in Ukraine, where he once played for Shakhtar Donetsk.
As for the main minus, Lalatovic is a very emotional man. He cares and worries about everything. In particular, for the success of the teams he works for.
What kind of football is practised by Lalatovic? Attacking! He works a lot on tactics. He uses the 4-2-3-1, as far as I remember. He has not changed it and still does, because now it is popular to play "three in a row".
I think his own views on football and experience will help Lalatovic in his work with Zorya. The Luhansk club invited him because he is one of the best coaches in Serbia in terms of results. Whichever team he has worked for, there have never been any failures. One would like to hope that this specialist will bring his enviable stability to Zorya as well. I will be rooting for the Luhansk team personally," UA-Football quotes Ljubenovic as saying.
