Miloš Šćepanović's rich playing career is coming to an end, and there is every chance that it has already ended because the season in the Champions League in water polo has also been suspended. And as things stand, the experienced Montenegrin goalkeeper will take up a new position in the summer - he will remain in Marseille, in the role of head coach, "Vijesti" has learned.
Last summer, Šćepanović entered the coaching ranks, he was in the professional staff of the younger selections of our national team, and in January of this year he helped the selector of the A selection, Vladimir Gojković, during the European Championship in Budapest, where the "sharks" won bronze.
It was, therefore, only a question of the moment when the 37-year-old water polo player would move from the water to the bench, now seems to be the right moment for that to happen. Allegedly, only a formality remained until the officialization of cooperation with Marseille.
The popular Šćepo will succeed Marko Amardej in Marseille, with whom the French club won the Eurocup last season. And he got to that toffee through Šćepanović's home club - in the two-match final he was better than Jadran from Herceg Novi, it was our goalkeeper who became the hero of the second leg of that final match which was played at the swimming pool in Nikšić...
The European champion with Montenegro in Malaga in 2008 should thus be a mentor to two of our national team members - Bogdan Đurđić and Uroš Čučković, and he will also work with one of the best players in the world, as Andrija Prlainović will also wear the cap of Marseille from next season. In the most trophy-winning French club, Igo Kruzija, world vice-champion with the Montenegrin national team in 2013, is also on the wish list. Croatian full-back Andro Bušlje is also on the wish list, while Marseille recently turned down South center Luka Lončar...
Šćepanović won four medals from the biggest competitions with the "sharks". In addition to the gold from Malaga, he also has three silvers (two from the EP and one from the World Championship).
