Slaven Bilić marked his return to the Croatia bench with a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic in Prague. The coach called it 'more than good' for a first match, saying the three points were very important ahead of a stretch of extremely difficult fixtures, including two games against tough opponents. He also defended Mateo Kovačić, describing him as 'a winger in the middle of the pitch' and backing his role in the side.

Why now: Bilić has just taken charge of the national team again and his debut win plus comments on Kovačić are drawing attention among Croatian football fans.
