BRATISLAVA: For Slovakia coach Francesco Calzona, Euro 2024 may be an opportunity to make up for a disastrous spring at the helm of Serie A defending champions Napoli.
Calzona's career with Slovakia is a different story - seven wins in ten Euro 2024 qualifiers and a comfortable cushion in the second place of Group J behind a perfect Portugal. Slovakia are facing Belgium on Jun 17, Ukraine four days later and Romania on Jun 26 in Group E of Euro 2024 hosted by Germany and starting on Jun 14.
Slovak Football Association head Jan Kovacik is hoping Slovakia will do better in Germany under the second foreign coach in the team's history.
