Zlatko Zahovic is widely considered the greatest player in the history of Slovenia. Zahovič was an essential member of the squad as they qualified for the first time ever to a European Championship and a World Cup, in the early 2000s. His career led him to teams like FC Porto, Valencia or Benfica, and he won multiple titles. While he is remembered for his flair and incredible technique, he also had moments of madness and frequently clashed with his managers on and off the pitch.

I'm a Slovenian. He was a very talented player and had iron nerves when taking penalties, free kicks in the dying minutes of the game. But he didn't know how to behave, he was full of himself, so that's why he couldn't get along with any coach. During their beef with Katanec in 2002 Katanec was the good guy, can confirm it because one of my friends knows him in person. He disappointed our country, it was our first World cup and then he left the squad for bad behavior. WIthout him the team knew they didn't stand a chance, so it effected their performance on the pitch.

Thank you for the video. Remember seeing him at a Euro and saying what a great player. Kudos from Belize.

Sehr guter Beitrag. Fussballer wie Zahovic gehören aufs Spielfeld auch wenn er nicht 100% Fit ist. Fussballer wie Zahovic, Baggio, Stoichkov, Bergkamp, Savicevic, Suker, Prosinecki sind wichtiger als Trainer.

As a Greek myself I can assure you that his presence in Olympiakos disappointed the fans who had huge expectations. In contrast Giovanni who arrived from Barcelona at the same time managed to have a great long career here. One should never pay big for a guy who doesn't want the job 😉

Great to hear from a Greek fan! I think his attitude was the biggest problem, which is a shame because Greek fans are some of the most passionate in the world. Who do you support, by the way?

@@football2go Panathinaikos. Sadly we are not quite successful lately, but we always like to remind people we've been to the Champions league final in 1971 (lost to Ajax) as well as in the semis in 1984 and 1996. To be honest I'm more interested in the UCL than the Greek league which is boring. As for the former I just enjoy big clubs being consistent. Their history and all, It is fascinating.

I remember Konstantinou and Bassinas from Panathinaikos in the match against Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. I think it was 2001 and I remember Barcelona losing in Greece. That was a great team!
