Born in Žepče,[1] he started his senior career playing in his hometown Yugoslav First League club HNK Hajduk Split where he will win the 1978–79 national Championship. In 1980, he moved to another top league club, FK Vojvodina where he played most of his career, becoming the team captain and, there too, winning the national title, in the 1988–89 season. In nine years there, between official and other, he played 461 matches, scoring 132 goals,[2] an impressive record for a defender. In October 1988 (1988–1989 season) he decides to move abroad, more precisely, to Belgian First Division club Lierse S.K. where he will stay until 1991. He plays there 63 games and scored 9 goals.[3]
He played for Yugoslavia national under-21 football team.[4]
After finishing his playing career, he became a football manager,[4] coaching many clubs mainly in the Croatian and Bosnian top leagues. His first job was at Marsonia, where he replaced Stjepan Deverić in August 2000.[5]
He was named manager of Marsonia again in February 2012, succeeding Miroslav Buljan.[6]
