Srećko Bogdan (born January 5, 1957 in Mursko Središće ) is a former Croatian football player and football coach.

Career

Bogdan began his career in his hometown with Rudar Mursko Središće and moved to MTČ Čakovec in 1973 . In January 1975 he moved to the Croatian top club Dinamo Zagreb and played there for the next ten years. For Dinamo Zagreb he played a total of 595 competitive games and scored 125 goals. This puts him in third place in the list of players with the most appearances in the history of the club.

Bogdan moved from Dinamo Zagreb in 1985, for which the 28-year-old had already played around 600 games, for a transfer fee of 150,000 DM to the then second division club Karlsruher SC . There he became a regular player as a defense organizer and played all 38 games of the 1985/86 season . In the following season, under coach Winfried Schäfer , from 1986 coach of the KSC, he rose with the team in the Bundesliga and was significantly involved in the success of the KSC in the following seasons, which came in 6th in the 1992 / 93 and the associated first-time qualification for the UEFA Cup reached its peak for the time being. In the last game of the season on June 5, 1993 against Dortmund (3-0), Bogdan, who had to take a long break this season due to an injury and only played ten games, was used for the last time.

Bogdan completed a total of 75 second division and 170 first division games for KSC between 1985 and 1993, scoring 13 and 8 goals respectively. He also played eleven international matches for the Yugoslav national soccer team between 1977 and 1983, i.e. before his time in Karlsruhe, the last against Germany.

The 1.83 m tall central defender was characterized, among other things, by his headball strength, which he also knew how to use when pushing into the opponent's penalty area. Bogdan is, as the former KSC President Schmider put it, “an absolute role model both athletically and personally”, coach Schäfer valued Bogdan, who also wore the captain's armband, as the link between the coach and the team.

After the end of his active career, Bogdan initially worked as a trainer and coordinator of KSC youth teams until 2000 and as assistant trainer to Winfried Schäfer. He was in the 2005/06 season coach of the Croatian club Inter Zaprešić , who were relegated in the 2006/07 season from the Croatian top division ( 1st HNL ). From the beginning of 2007 he was the coach of Segesta Sisak , with whom he rose to the second division at the end of the 2006/07 season, but was released from the coaching post at the end of 2008. In the 2009/10 season he coached the team NK Međimurje Čakovec in the 2nd division.
