UPDATE: Buducnost’s football club is facing a critical moment as they welcome back manager Miodrag Bozovic, who is tasked with reviving the team’s fortunes after a disappointing season. The club, currently ranked seventh in the league, sits just 11 points away from the top and is closer to relegation than glory.
In an urgent press conference held earlier today at the training camp in Podgorica, Bozovic addressed the media with a candid assessment of the team’s struggles. “The table looks ugly,” he stated, acknowledging the team’s precarious position just two points above the relegation zone. The new season’s first match will be a high-stakes derby against leading Niksic on 21 February.
The return of Bozovic marks a significant shift for Buducnost, which has been through turmoil, having changed coaches multiple times in recent months. After 19 years away from the club, Bozovic’s experience is seen as crucial to restoring the team’s competitive spirit. “We need to regain our passion for the game,” he emphasized, noting the lack of desire observed in recent matches.
Today’s press gathering revealed that over 30 players attended training, with several new signings anticipated to bolster the squad. Bozovic confirmed that the club is actively pursuing reinforcements during the winter transfer window, despite the challenges posed by limited options. “We are working diligently to strengthen the team,” he said, expressing optimism about securing new talent.
The club’s infrastructure has improved significantly, moving away from past shortcomings, but the current performance on the field tells a different story. Buducnost’s recent string of four consecutive losses has left fans and stakeholders worried about the future. Bozovic stated, “It’s essential to prepare properly and create a positive atmosphere; nothing is unattainable.”
As the team heads into the spring season, Bozovic’s leadership will be pivotal in shifting the current trajectory. The upcoming derby against Niksic is anticipated to provide clear guidance on the team’s potential moving forward. “We hope to secure a spot in European competitions,” he added, although he refrained from making bold promises.
With Bozovic at the helm, Buducnost aims to reclaim its status as a dominant force in Montenegrin football. The club’s management is also refocusing its strategy, moving away from older players to incorporate fresh energy, although recent signings reflect a blend of experience and youth.
As fans and analysts await the first match, the pressure mounts for Bozovic to deliver results that can reignite the passion and pride associated with the Buducnost name. The eyes of the football community will be on the team, hoping for a turnaround that could restore faith in one of Montenegro’s most storied clubs.
