Jerko Leko remains Dinamo's first-team coach until the end of the season! Leko and GNK Dinamo have signed a contract until the end of the competitive year, with an option to extend.

He took charge of the Maksimir club's first team at the beginning of last week, following the mutual termination of Mario Kovačević's contract. In that short period, the team has shown exceptional energy and unity and, with excellent performances on the pitch, secured two important and convincing victories away to Sunderland and Varaždin.

During his playing days, Leko came through Dinamo's football academy and later became an important member of the first team, for which he played in two spells. He returned to the Maksimir club ahead of last season and in a short time has progressed through an important part of the club's coaching pyramid: he led the juniors, then Dinamo II, and now the first team. Last season, he won the double with the U-19 side – the league title and the Cup. He began the current competitive year as Dinamo II coach, and now takes over the first team in full.

We believe that, through his work, energy and dedication, Jerko will continue to lead the team toward achieving our sporting goals.

We wish Jerko plenty of luck and success in his work, and many victories on the Dinamo bench!

Good luck, Coach!
