Ivica Vastić [ iˈvɪtsa ˈvastɪtʃ ] (born September 29, 1969 in Split , SR Croatia , SFR Yugoslavia ) is a former Austrian football player and now coach of Croatian origin.
Career
player
Ivica Vastić grew up in Split and learned the craft of shipbuilding there. Due to his talent, the major Croatian club Hajduk Split noticed him. Vastić did not want a contract, however, as he feared to be deported to the second selection, and so he first played at the smaller NK Split . In 1991, when Croatia was at war after independence , he came to Vienna through contacts with his father and played there for a year for Vienna in the 1st division . The technician was soon able to draw attention to his abilities, and in 1992/93 already scored 18 goals this season in the 1st division at VSE St. Pölten . This was followed by a move to the then Austrian top club FC Admira / Wacker , from where he was brought into the German Bundesliga after only half a season by MSV Duisburg in January 1994 .
In the summer of 1994 Vastić was brought back to the Austrian league by SK Sturm Graz , where he celebrated his greatest successes. As captain, playmaker and goalscorer, he was twice Austrian champion , three times ÖFB Cup winner and three times Supercup winner with SK Sturm under coach Ivica Osim . The Graz team also qualified for the Champions League three times in a row (1998 to 2000), including the second group stage in the 2000/01 season. During this time, Vastić was voted Austria's Footballer of the Year several times. In 1996 and 2000 he was Austria's top scorer. Together with Hannes Reinmayr and Mario Haas , he formed the magic triangle that was famous at Sturm Graz .
Ivica Vastić was already called up once into the Croatian national team , but not used, so that he was able to make his debut for Austria in 1996 after assuming Austrian citizenship . He played his first game on March 27 in a 1-0 win over Switzerland , and scored his first goal in the fifth game against Estonia . He took part in the 1998 World Cup, where he scored the 1-1 goal in stoppage time in the second round match against Chile . Ivica Vastić was a regular in the team until 2002 before he decided to move to Japan to Nagoya Grampus Eight at the end of his career . In 2003 he came back to Austria and played two seasons at FK Austria Wien , with whom he was again ÖFB Cup winner in 2005 . During his time in Austria he also made a comeback in the national team, as team boss Hans Krankl relied on the veteran for the World Cup qualification in '06 . Vastić played a major role in the 2-0 away win against Wales .
After the contract with FK Austria Wien was not extended, he signed a contract with the second-class LASK Linz on May 30, 2005 . As captain, he led the team to second place in the table in 2005/06 , was elected marksman king with 19 goals and the best player in the first division . In the 2006/07 season he was promoted to the Bundesliga with LASK Linz, and was again top scorer (23 goals) and best player. The 2007/08 season ended the LASK sixth in the Bundesliga and Vastić was the third best scorer with 13 goals. On May 28, 2008, Josef Hickersberger appointed him to the squad for the 2008 European Championship . As the oldest player in the competition, he made two appearances in the winless preliminary round. In the duel against Poland he equalized with a penalty to make it 1-1 and thus the only Austrian goal of the tournament. It was the first goal of the Austrian national team in a European championship final. Vastić is also the oldest goalscorer in a European Championship finals.
On May 18, 2009 Vastić announced his retirement as an active player at the end of the 2008/09 season . At the home game in the penultimate round, he ended his professional career. The game ended with a 4-0 win over Austria Wien; Vastić scored the 1-0 opening goal with a free kick. On the last day of the game, he did not appear because he wanted to end his career with a home game.
Trainer
After Vastić had ended his active football career, LASK wanted to hire him as a new assistant coach and as a youth coach. Vastić, however, refused. He was head coach of the regional league team FC Waidhofen / Ybbs in the 2009/10 season and won the regional league east with the club that season .
Then Vastić looked after the amateurs of FK Austria Wien after the forced relegation in the third-class Regionalliga Ost. On December 21, 2011 Vastić was appointed as the successor to Karl Daxbacher until the end of the 2011/12 season as the new head coach of the Austria combat team. Vastić's contract was not extended by mutual agreement at the end of the season. The traditional club had only finished fourth and failed to qualify for the European Cup for the first time since the 2000/2001 season.
On December 20, 2013 he was introduced as the new head coach of the second division club SV Mattersburg . After he managed to stay in the first division in the 2013/14 season , his contract was extended for another season. In the following season he became champion with the Burgenland and thus made it to the Bundesliga . Vastić was released during the winter break of the 2016/17 season . Mattersburg was at the time on a relegation zone.
In February 2018 he was introduced as the new coach of the U16 team of FK Austria Wien.
Private
Vastić has been an Austrian citizen since 1996, has been married to his wife Anni for over 20 years and has three children. His eldest son Toni Vastić is also a soccer player. He plays as a striker in the U-21 national team; After a stint at the German regional league club FC Bayern München II , which began in the 2011/12 season , he moved to SV Ried in 2013 and to FC Admira Wacker Mödling in 2015 .
Vastić worked together with the Austrian children's book author Karin Ammerer on the book We win together! Football connects , which was published in August 2009. The story tells of a coach's attempt to form a football team from Austrian and foreign children.
