That will be the ninth semi-final at the EURO events for the team lead by legendary coach Lino Cervar.
On the list of the coaches who have the most semi-finals of the “big events” in the history of handball, the 70-years old Cervar is now alone on the position number 3 with 10 battles for the medals.
The first two names in the history of our game are French Claude Onesta and Swedish Bengt Johansson, both with 14 semi-finals during their era.
Legendary Russian NT coach Vladimir Maksimow is now fourth with nine semi-finals.
Danish coach Ulrik Wilbek, the father of French handball, Daniel Constantini and German Heiner Brandt have seven semi-finals each.
Six has Spanish coach Juan de Dias Roman Seco.
