Valletta FC are set to appoint Danilo Doncic as their new head coach, the Times of Malta can confirm.
The Serbian coach has agreed personal terms with the Citizens and is expected to arrive in Malta in the coming hours to take charge of the team.
Doncic is expected to lead his team’s preparations for this weekend’s match against Sirens as Valletta are desperate to return to winning ways to revive their hopes of earning a place in the Championship Pool.
Valletta have suffered a dip in form in recent weeks as the Citizens have only managed to pick one point from the last five matches to slip down to seventh place in the standings on 21 and are seriously risking of missing out on a top-six placing.
For Doncic, this is set to be his second spell as Valletta FC coach.
He had taken charge of his former club in 2018 when he replaced Zoran Popovic and led the club to the league and cup double.
Doncic left the club in 2019 but is now set to return to the capital club where he enjoy a stellar career as a player where he managed to win all major honours of domestic football.
