Ilija Aračić (born November 15, 1970 in Slavonski Brod , SFR Yugoslavia ) is a former Croatian soccer player and today's soccer coach .

Player career

At the age of nine he already played in his youth with NK Ukrina Novo Selo . At the age of 14, he switched to his father's club, Anto Aračić NK Polet Bosanski Brod . In parallel to school, he completed an apprenticeship as a technical draftsman . He then received his first professional contract with Bosanski Brod. After a short interlude at Slavonski Brod, he moved to NK Rijeka .

Due to the war in Yugoslavia , he left Croatia and signed a contract with Chemnitzer FC . Despite relegation to the regional league , he made Tennis Borussia attention, after which he moved to Berlin in 1997 . In the surprise success of Tennis Borussia against Hertha BSC in the DFB Cup in October 1998 , Aračić scored two goals to make it 4-2. Only two months later, he signed a contract with local rivals and scored twice in his first game against Borussia Dortmund . At Hertha he played seven times in the Champions League , but could not prevail against the strong competition in the storm, which is why he moved to Arminia Bielefeld in 2000 .

Coaching career

In 2004 Aračić began his coaching career in the youth division of FC Augsburg . He later took over the U19 team from Augsburg and was also responsible for the school and technical training of the club. After having already acquired the A license, he successfully completed the DFB soccer teacher training course in March 2011 and thus received a UEFA Pro license.

On January 1, 2012, Ilija Aračić took over the U19 of VfB Stuttgart . On October 31, 2012, he extended his contract as U19 coach at VfB until the end of June 2014. Although his contract was later extended to 2017, his engagement in Stuttgart ended after the 2014/15 season. In September 2016 he became the coach of the regional league team FV Illertissen .

Aračić returned to VfB Stuttgart on January 30, 2018, and became assistant to head coach Tayfun Korkut, just like his new colleague Steven Cherundolo . On October 7, 2018, Aračić was released from his duties together with Korkut and Cherundolo.
