Nenad Bjelica, who left Trabzonspor, takes charge of Union Berlin

Nenad Bjelica, who had an unsuccessful run at Trabzonspor, has become the head coach of German Bundesliga side Union Berlin.

Union Berlin President Dirk Zingler expressed his satisfaction with the signing of the 52-year-old manager, stating, "We have brought in an experienced coach in Nenad Bjelica, who has been successful in many countries. He has a clear vision for our team's style of play, and I wish Bjelica, his staff, and the team a successful start. Their task will be to lead our team back to the top."

"A VERY WELL-MANAGED CLUB"

Bjelica explained his decision to take charge of Union Berlin with these words: "Union is a very well-managed club playing in one of the best leagues in Europe. My task is to lead the team out of its current difficult situation and bring out its strengths again. I want to see a well-organized, active, dominant, and responsible group of players. From now on, we will work together to achieve this goal."

Union Berlin, which finished 4th in the Bundesliga last season with 62 points and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in its history, has only managed to collect 7 points in 12 Bundesliga matches this season, falling to 17th place.

FIRST MATCH IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Nenad Bjelica will take charge of his first match as Union Berlin manager on Wednesday in the Champions League away against Braga. The 52-year-old Croatian manager will make his Bundesliga debut on Saturday away against Bayern Munich.

Bjelica, who took office at Trabzonspor in April, recorded 8 wins and 8 losses in 16 matches during his 6-month tenure with the Burgundy-Blues, averaging 1.50 points per game.
