Zahovic's concentration hit by club move
By 20000609slozahovic

SOESTDUINEN, Netherlands, June 9 (Reuters) - Slovenia's top goalscorer Zlatko Zahovic, eager to leave Greek champions Olympiakos, hopes his personal manager finds him another club by Tuesday so he can concentrate on Euro 2000.

Speaking to reporters at the Slovenia team hotel, Zahovic said on Friday he was preoccupied with changing clubs, and really wanted the situation resolved by Tuesday when debutants Slovenia play Yugoslavia in Charleroi.

'My manager is looking for a club. We would like to find something before the Yugoslavia game,' he said, adding he would like to go to a Spanish side.

Zahovic, banned from playing for Olympiakos and fined $57,000 after he swore at coach Alberto Bigon in April, says he looks back on his time at the club as a 'positive experience for life.'

'If I resolve my problem before Europe I will be 100 percent fit,' he said.

Zahovic repeated he would consider going back to Portugal but only to his old club, champions Porto.
