Otto Barić (born June 19, 1932 , according to his own information 1933 in Eisenkappel , Carinthia , Austria ; † December 13, 2020 in Zagreb ) was a Yugoslav soccer player and later Yugoslav and Croatian soccer coach .

As coach of Rapid Vienna and Austria Salzburg, he reached the final of the cup winners' competition in 1984/85 and the UEFA Cup in 1993/94. He was the coach of the national teams of Austria, Croatia and Albania.

Career

Barić's Croatian parents returned with him to their homeland when he was four years old. Barić grew up in Zagreb , where he began his footballing career at Dinamo Zagreb and Lokomotiva Zagreb . This was followed by a successful international coaching career, for which he was able to show coaching certificates from three countries; he acquired it in Cologne in 1970 , in Vienna in 1972 and in Zagreb in 1975.

Barić died as a result of a COVID-19 infection.

Career as a coach

Barić began his coaching career in Germany, where he looked after some lower class teams towards the end of the 1960s. In 1970 he was hired by the Austrian Bundesliga club FC Wacker Innsbruck as a new coach and won his first championship title here in 1970/71. On May 8, 1972, however, he took a leave of absence, for the time being, assistant coach Richard Kirchler took over the support of the fighting team and as a result, “ideal candidate” Branko Elsner was signed up. The reason for Barić's resignation was a physical attack on him two days earlier after the match against ASK from Linz(1: 1) and he had been demoralized in the local press for weeks. A short time later, Barić became a coach (of all people) at ASK Linz . In 1974 Barić went back to Yugoslavia before he was brought back to Austria in 1980 by SK Sturm Graz .

He had the greatest international successes in 84 European Cup matches as the person in charge with SK Rapid Wien in 1985 and SV Austria Salzburg in 1994, when he reached the finals of the cup winners' competition and the UEFA Cup . A commitment in the German Bundesliga at VfB Stuttgart , which he took over for the 1985/86 season, was unsuccessful. He was dismissed shortly after the start of the second half of this season. At the European Championships in England in 1996 , he looked after the Croatian national team under head coach Miroslav Blažević as an assistant coach.

After his successful time in Salzburg, where he made it to the UEFA Cup final and took part in the Champions League, he first moved to his regular club Dinamo Zagreb and then to Fenerbahçe Istanbul . With both clubs he achieved good placements, but no title win.

In 1999 he became the successor to Herbert Prohaska , who had resigned after a 9-0 defeat against Spain, coach of the Austrian national team . Austria clearly missed qualifying for EM 2000 after another clear 5-0 defeat against Israel. In 2001 Austria came under Baric to the play-off of the qualification for the soccer world championship 2002 , in which one failed at the later World Cup third, Turkey. As a result, Barić resigned as team boss in 2001 and Hans Krankl took over as his successor in 2002.

As the person in charge of the Croatian national team, he qualified for the 2004 European Football Championship in Portugal. Barić then worked as an observer and advisor to FK Austria Wien and as a sports director at Dinamo Zagreb, although he gave up this post after a short time because he could not implement his ideas.

His last coaching engagement was as team manager of the Albanian national team, which he supervised during qualification for the 2008 European Football Championship .

He owed his nickname Otto “Maximum” Barić to the use of his favorite word “maximum” (which he pronounced “maximum”). He wasn't afraid to use this word constantly (examples: maximum effort, maximum concentration).

Controversies over homophobic statements

In 2007, Barić was fined € 1,825 by UEFA for making homophobic statements in an interview with the Croatian magazine Jutarnji list in 2004 . Barić had stated: “I know that there are no homosexuals in my team. I recognize a gay person within ten minutes, and I don't want them on my team. ”In 2004, in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Blick, he made a similar statement:“ My players have to be real guys. So homosexuals can't play with me, at most against me. "
