Simon Rožman (born 6 April 1983) is a Slovenian professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Bosnian Premier League club Sarajevo.

Managerial career

Celje

Rožman started his managerial career at Celje,[2] where he was at first part of the academy coaching structure, and was in charge of the youth selections. During his time in Celje, he was also the Academy Director.[3] In April 2014, he took over the senior team, becoming the youngest manager in the Slovenian PrvaLiga.[4] He led the club to the second place in the league and was the runner-up of the national cup in 2015.[1]

Domžale

In 2016 Rožman joined Domžale, first as a sports coordinator, but soon he was promoted to the first team manager.[5] In his first season, he won the national cup and came fourth in the league.[1] In the next season, he led the club to the third place in the league; he also managed to reach the play-off round of the 2017–18 Europa League, eliminating Bundesliga side SC Freiburg on the way. He left Domžale on 3 September 2019, after failing to win a single game during the first eight rounds of the 2019–20 Slovenian PrvaLiga campaign.[6]

Rijeka

On 23 September 2019, Rožman was appointed as head coach of

Napoli, Real Sociedad and AZ Alkmaar.[9] He resigned on 27 February 2021 after losing 1–0 at home against Hajduk Split.[10][11]

Maribor

On 20 March 2021, Rožman signed a three-year contract with Slovenian side Maribor, replacing Mauro Camoranesi.[12] He left the club six months later, on 20 September 2021, after a poor start of the 2021–22 season, as Maribor was sitting in sixth place after nine rounds.[13]
