Dinamo's decline began with the departure of coach Bjelica and the final takeover of the club by the Mamic brothers.
Dinamo's best players, like Olmo, left and the club's management did not bring in real replacements.
It is obvious that this year's Dinamo is the weakest in the last 7-8 years and they will have a big fight for the first three places in the group and the continuation of the competition in Europe in the spring of next year.
Dinamo letting go Bjelica was really a big mistake. I'm not a football expert but it looked to me that even mediocre players played better under him. Also, the problem isn't just in Olmo leaving the club. Other players that they sold like Gavranović could have made a difference in this match. But never mind, I think Dinamo didn't expect to win this game as they will search for their chances against other two teams in the group. But if they will play like this I would really be surprised if they don't finish the group at the last place.
I agree with you.
With coach Bjelica Dinamo looked like a serious and organized European club, with clear ambitions and strategy.
Bjelica's biggest success is that he managed to change the losing mentality of the players and that everyone started believing that Dinamo can always win, even against the strongest European teams.
Now it seems to me that Dinamo has lost its vision again, that the losing mentality is returning to the team, there is no more clear plan and strategy, the best players are gone and the substitutes are not at the same level.
Given the current situation at the club, it will be a success for Dinamo if they avoid the last place in their group and continue competing in the conference league.
