Ivan Katalinić (born 17 May 1951 ) is a Croatian football manager and former Hajduk Split and Southampton goalkeeper. He manages Jedinstvo Bihać in the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a member of Hajduk's famous "golden generation" of the 1970w, he won four Yugoslav championships and five consecutive cups. In early 1980 came a move to Southampton where he stayed for three and a half seasons. On his return from England, Katalinić once again joined Hajduk becoming part of the coaching staff and a third choice goalkeeper for the 1983–84 season. So far in his managerial career Katalinić has managed 17 clubs. Most success was achieved with Hajduk from 1993 until 1995. Two Croatian championships and cups were won along with two supercups. Season 1994–95 is remembered as the most successful in Hajduk's history. Besides winning the double, Hajduk reached quarterfinals of the Champions League. As a goalkeeper Katalinić was capped 13 times for Yugoslav national team. Debut came on 30 January 1977 when Yugoslavia beat Colombia 1–0 at Estadio El Campín in Bogotá and his last game was in Rome on 18 May 1978 versus Italy at stadio Olimpico in a scoreless draw. From 1996 until 2002 he was part of the Croatian national team's coaching staff that led Croatia to bronze medal in the World Cup 1998. ==Playing career== Although signing his first professional contract with Hajduk in the summer of 1970, Katalinić had to wait more than a year for the debut. Long awaited day occurred on 29 September in 1971 when he came on as a substitute for injured Radomir Vukcevic in Champions Cup first round return leg in Split against Valencia. In a stiff competition Katalinić was not a first choice goalkeeper until 1975. He kept his number one jersey in next two seasons before losing it to obligatory military service. Upon his return from army in May 1979, Katalinić played only one game adding three more at the beginning the following season. Transfer abroad was on horizon. After trials with W.B.A. and Derby County followed by unsuccessful attempts to gain work permit, Katalinić finally made a breakthrough with Southampton. After signing a four-year contract with Southampton in February 1980 Katalinić became first Croatian ever in First Division (today known as Premier League). To date, he is the only Croatian goalkeeper to have played in English top flight. In next two and a half years he made 54 appearances for Southampton in all competitions. For the 1982–83 season Saints signed England's legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton whose arrival moved Katalinić to the bench. After cancelling his contract with Southampton in the summer of 1983, he signed with Hajduk as a third choice goalkeeper and an assistant coach. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivan Katalinić」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
