Slovenia boss happy to see Bijol's progress

Yorkshire Evening Post

|

November 06, 2025

Slovenia national team boss Matjaž Kek has been pleased to see defender Jaka Bijol work his way into the Leeds United team after a slice of selection fortune.

Bijol was expected to come straight in as a first-choice centre-back at Leeds following his £15 million transfer from Udinese, but Farke made him wait. The Whites boss remained loyal to Championship title-winning pair Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk who both started the season in impressive form.

Commenting on Bijol's lack of football in October, Kek backed fellow manager Farke in sticking with Struijk and Rodon, adding his national team defender needed to adapt and 'have a little luck'.
