Iztok Puc - Retirement

Retirement

After his retirement at Prule 67 he assumed the role of sports director at the club. Soon afterwards he moved to Florida, USA together with his wife Jasenka, who is the daughter of the Croatian handball player and 1972 Olympic gold medalist Hrvoje Horvat, in support of their son's Borut tennis career. He and his wife sold all of their family possessions and enrolled their son to the world famous Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. At the time of his father's death, Borut Puc was ranked 502nd on the ATP list with Goran Ivanišević as his tennis coach. Similar to his father, he also represented both Slovenia and Croatia. He started his career representing Slovenia and did so until the late 2000s (decade) when he changed his allegiance to Croatia.
