The game of the 10th round of the EHF Champions League will be quickly forgotten by the Krim Mercator squad. A meagre eight goals in the first half and a high defeat (36:23) against CSM Bucuresti meant that the Tigresses left the Romanian capital with their heads down. But the season is not over, nothing is lost. The next challenge is already knocking at the door.
The first game of the new coach Ambros Martin did not go the way the Krim family wanted. Although the handball players of Krim Mercator were very close to a turnaround, the decisive playoff was better played by the players of FTC. Empty-handed after the first game of the calendar year, but with optimistic thoughts before the continuation of the EHF Champions League group stage.
Handball club Krim Mercator officially announces that one of the greatest coaches in the history of women’s handball, Ambros Martín, will take over the role of the head coach of the women’s team on 25 November 2024. The coaching icon, who has marked European handball with his knowledge, passion and outstanding achievements, has signed a contract with the club until the end of the season.
Ambros Martín, one of the most respected coaches in women’s handball, has taken the helm of RK Krim Mercator. Ahead of his first training session with the team, the experienced Spaniard shared what drew him to the Slovenian club, how he views the current challenges, and the potential he sees in the players, whom he will lead in their upcoming game against FTC.
The handball players of Krim Mercator were unfortunately unsuccessful in their make-up test against the French team Metz. Although the defeat may not be as painful as the last time at home in Stožice, or the difference is not as high, the Krim are returning empty-handed from their away trip in France. 34:30 was the final score of the game, the last one before the long European break.
Handball club Krim Mercator informs that as of 11 November 2024 it has accepted the resignation of head coach Dragan Adžić. The club thanks the coach for his contribution and wishes him every success in the future.
If in the last two European competitions Krim Mercator’s handball players escaped victory by a hair’s breadth, unfortunately they were completely helpless in Sunday’s match at Arena Stožice. French Metz, who are undefeated this season, took advantage of the Tigresses’ mistakes and won the EHF’s match of the week 25:34.
The Krim Mercator players are unfortunately returning empty-handed from Erd, Hungary. Many parallels could be drawn this time with the game a week ago against CSM Bucuresti. The Tigresses were breathing down Ferencváros’ neck all the way, but in the end, despite a big eleven goals from captain Ana Gros and fourteen saves from Barbara Arenhart, they came up short. The game ended 28:26.
Four times in a row it went well, but unfortunately the fifth time it stopped. Two goals were conceded (29:31), and Krim Mercator handball players had to concede to their rivals CSM Bucuresti in Saturday’s game at Arena Stožice. They are still on eight points in this season’s EHF Champions League.
Krima Mercator’s handball players remain undefeated after the fourth round of the elite EHF Champions League! This time they won 25:23 against Storhamar from Norway in Stožice. There are no words to add to the excellent start to this season.
