Sogdiana in a difficult situation: Boskovic’s fate under question

The match between Surkhon and Sogdiana held in Termez as part of the 10th round of the Super League turned out to be as intense and dramatic as the fans expected. The encounter between the two teams from the lower half of the standings ended with a 2:1 victory for the hosts from Termez.

The team from Jizzakh started the game more actively and took control in the first half. However, in the second half, after Surkhon opened the scoring, Sogdiana quickly responded with an equalizer, bringing intrigue back into the game. At this point, it seemed as if Sogdiana was gaining momentum, while Surkhon appeared to be losing cohesion. Yet, the decisive goal was ultimately scored by the Termez players, delighting their supporters.

Tactical issues, but character made the difference

Neither team looked particularly convincing in terms of gameplay. Both teams showed tactical inaccuracies, positional mistakes, and noticeable gaps in midfield. However, this time luck, determination, and team unity turned out to be decisive for Surkhon.

Boskovic's fate is the coach's main issue

Before the match, there were discussions that this game could be decisive for Sogdiana's coach, Ivan Boskovic. Now, these discussions have only intensified. The team keeps dropping points, and despite having a well-structured squad, results are not coming.

Boskovic has been at the helm since 2023 and had previously shown good results. However, his plans are not working out this season. The club also struggled in the match against Shurtan. Naturally, the defeat in Termez puts significant pressure on the patience of the club's management and fans.

Khomyakov is being considered as a replacement

According to local sources, the club is already considering several candidates to replace Boskovic. Among them is Alexander Khomyakov, who recently left Andijan.

After 10 rounds, Sogdiana has recorded only 2 victories and currently sits in 13th place with 8 points. This could speed up the decision regarding a coaching change.

The editorial team of Zamin.uz will continue to closely monitor developments around the team from Jizzakh. Will Boskovic be able to regain confidence, or will Sogdiana opt for a new coaching path? We will find out soon.

What do you think – should Ivan Boskovic be given another chance?
