"Normal day at the office" for Aussie Sharks Head Coach who takes on home country
Published Tue 27 Jul 2021
The Australian Men’s Water Polo team will be looking to rebound in their second match of the Tokyo Olympic Games when they take on Croatia tonight.
Both sides are very familiar with each other, having met several times across the course of the Olympic cycle, with the Aussie Sharks defeating the European powerhouses at the Aussie World Cup in 2018 which put them through to the finals.
Head Coach Elvis Fatovic represented Croatia at the Olympics and was assistant coach for his home nation at the London Olympics when they won gold.
Having led the Aussie Sharks since 2013, his allegiances are firmly to the green and gold.
But tonight will be a difficult one for his family, as his son Loren lines up at his first Olympics, playing opposite to his father.
