The Croatian coach guided Pyramids FC to their first-ever CAF Champions League title, overcoming the formidable South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in a thrilling final.

The score secured a 3-2 aggregate win, following a 1-1 draw in last week's first leg in Pretoria.

After the game, Jurčić expressed a deep sense of pride and humility. His initial response was simple yet profound: “I don’t know what to say.

“We achieved the accomplishment and were able to win the African Championship, and we deserved it.”

Reflecting on the team’s Champions League journey this season, Jurčić emphasised that it was a collective effort which led to this triumphant moment.
