Ante "Biće" Mladinić (1 October 1929 – 13 June 2002) was a Croatian football manager.
The Croat had a modest playing career turning out for Hajduk Split and Lokomotiva Zagreb. Later as coach he had spells at NK Zagreb, Hajduk, FK Partizan, and the Yugoslavia national football team in the mid-1970s. He ended his career as a staff member for Bordeaux, where he discovered players such as Bixente Lizarazu.[1] He was considered by many as one of the best coaches ever produced in the Balkans.
He died in Zagreb in 2002 following a long battle with throat cancer.
