Sudden Setback for Rijeka Coach Ahead of Omonia Clash

Rijeka's coach, Viktor Sanchez, will be unable to be on the team's bench for tomorrow's match against Omonia in the Conference League play-offs. Sanchez felt unwell on Tuesday evening and was taken to the hospital for tests as a precaution. The team announced that assistant coach, Ramiro Munoz, will replace him for as long as necessary. The Rijeka management wished Sanchez a speedy recovery and return to the team's bench. The setback with the coach's health creates uncertainty for the team ahead of the important match against Omonia. Rijeka will have to adjust to Sanchez's absence and rely on the assistant coach to guide the team in the match.
