"There are no easy opponents in the Europa League. Of course, both "Celje", whom we will face in the first qualifying round, and "Partizan" or AEK, who will play with the winner of this pair, are strong and serious rivals."
Idman.biz reports that Igor Ponomaryov, sports director of "Sabah", said this in his statement to Telegraf, while evaluating the team's opponents in the UEFA Europa League.
The club official said that the draw was quite serious: "Partizan" is a familiar opponent to us. We faced this team 2 years ago and only lost in the penalty shootout. Now we are only thinking about the games with "Celje".
The 65-year-old expert noted that the head coach issue will be clarified in the coming days and the team will start gathering: "Detailed information will be provided as soon as possible regarding both the appointment of the head coach and the training camp."
Ponomaryov emphasized that new players will also be brought to the team before the European Cups: "Of course, new transfers are expected. Our selection team has done a good job in this area. I believe that our new transfers will further strengthen our team."
It should be noted that "Sabah" will play its first match in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League on July 10, and the return match on July 17.
