New Yanga SC head coach Sead Ramovic has opened up on why turned down the Raja Athletic Club job offer.
Ramovic was heavily linked with a move to Raja AC at the beginning of the current season after they parted ways with Josef Zinnbaeur. The move for the former TS Galaxy coach didn’t materialise after it collapsed at the 11th-hour.

After continuing with The Rockets, things didn’t work out for the German coach as he was knocked out of the MTN8 quarterfinal and failed to win a single league match in six outings accumulating only one point from their 1-1 draw with Stellenbosch FC.
Speaking with iDiski Times, Ramovic mentioned that he had to be loyal to his staff members as Raja didn’t allow him to come with his technical team.
“It may look now for many people that it’s a loss, that I didn’t go there to take the opportunity, but for me, it was a win for my values and principles and loyalty to my staff,” Ramovic said.

“So, I don’t regret it at all, because this is more important for me, because success comes and goes but the character stays forever, and I will always choose character. You know, I think about how I can live through my life, and what happened, what will happen, what happened before, or what can happen.
“This is what I cannot control, but I can control my life and my principles and everything else. And I know that God opens doors, so if the conditions were not with my principles and my values and my loyalties, then I know that this is not the right thing.
“Because I live the way how I live. So, if God would’ve loved that I go there, then the conditions would fit with my values and principles, and this is how I think.”
