Instead of coach Darko Milanic at the usual press conference after the match went the sporting director of Maribor Zlatko Zahovic. The current champions are having some troubles winning matches, and as questions were continuing to be asked one after another, the 47 year old had become more and more nervous. Dejan Mitrovic asked a simple query about whether he was disappointed with 1.500 spectators in the stadium, to which the former Slovenian midfielder answered something completely different: 'You just want to provoke. Wait a minute, son. How old are you? You recently had a family tragedy, and I thought you learned something from it, but I would say you did not'. As the media member indeed lost his father lately, those insulting words produced an outrage, shock and disbelief at everyone in the hall, journalistic associations and the club itself. Although the director has said that it will not apologize as he did nothing wrong, Maribor suspended him as of today.
