Ivan "Ivica" Horvat (born July 16, 1926 in Sisak ; † August 27, 2012 in Krk , Croatia ) was a Yugoslav football player and coach . As a player and coach, he also worked for clubs in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Club career as a player
Horvat began playing football in 1939 at ŠK Ferraria Zagreb, where he played until 1942. He played for Dinamo Zagreb from 1945 to 1957 , where he made his debut in the 1st team on July 22, 1945. In total, he came to 208 appearances for Dinamo in which he scored 2 goals. In 1957 he moved to Germany to Eintracht Frankfurt , where he stayed until the end of his career. Horvat was a huge stopper for the time and was one of the stars and essential pillars of the Frankfurt championship team from 1959, alongside the Hungarian goal scorer István Sztani and playmaker Alfred Pfaff . In contrast to Sztani and Pfaff, Horvat was unable to take part in the championship final against Kickers Offenbach due to an injury - he suffered a serious injury in the third final match on May 30 in a 2-1 home win against 1. FC Köln. The injury ultimately led to the end of his playing career. In total, he came to 56 missions for Eintracht in the football league south .
National team
In the Yugoslav national team , Horvat played a total of 60 games from 1946 to 1959. He took part with the team in the world championships in 1950 and 1954 .
He was also a player in the Yugoslav team that won the silver medal at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki . In the final, the Yugoslavs lost to the aspiring Hungarian wonder team of the 1950s.
In the quarter-finals of the 1954 World Cup, Yugoslavia lost to the German team after an own goal by Horvat with 0: 2 (second German goal by Rahn ); This own goal, scored in the 10th minute, was the fastest in World Cup history until Paraguayan Carlos Gamarra hit his own net after just three minutes at the 2006 World Cup against England.
Career as a coach
From 1961 to 1979 Horvat worked as a trainer, initially as an assistant trainer at Eintracht Frankfurt, until he succeeded Paul Oßwald as head trainer in 1964 . However, when Frankfurt could not convince in the league, Horvat was dismissed in 1965. He was succeeded by Elek Schwartz .
With Dinamo Zagreb he won the trade fair trophy , the predecessor of the UEFA Cup , in 1967 with Branko Zebec as an equal assistant coach in the finals against Leeds United (2-0, 0-0) . In 1970 Horvat was at PAOK Saloniki .
From 1971 he was active again in the Bundesliga, namely at FC Schalke 04 , with whom he was cup winner and runner-up in 1972 . In 1975 Horvat moved to Rot-Weiss Essen , which he trained until September 1976. He then coached the second division Westfalia Herne in the 1976/77 and 1977/78 seasons . At the beginning of the 1978/1979 season Horvat returned to Schalke again, but was released in March after poor performance by the team and a 1: 3 defeat in the derby against Bochum . Then Horvat ended his coaching career.
