“Having led the digitalisation and commercialisation of FK Zeljeznicar from the first day in the office, I quickly realised the opportunities that are out there for clubs such as Zeljo and wanted to put my own stamp on its present and its future. From our first conversation, RESULT Sports’ founder Mario Leo and I totally understood each other and hit it off both on professional and personal fronts. His knowledge and understanding of the digital space is second to none and no wonder many major football clubs including Borussia Dortmund have been relying on his knowledge and his professional advice for a long time. I am truly looking forward to seeing him and his company add value to FK Željezničar by integrating their own standardised, scalable digital platforms based on their know-how, their experience and their valuable data gathering they have been successfully doing for more than a decade. I can say with certainty that these are exciting times for the Bosnian giant”, said Samir Ceric.
