Ivan Javorčić (born 24 January 1979) is a Croatian football manager and a former player, currently in charge as head coach of Italian Serie C club Südtirol.
Playing career[]
Born in Split, Javorčić began playing football for the youth side of local club RNK Split. He first played for the senior team at age 15.[1]
Javorčić spent most of his career in Italy, where he moved in 1996 to sign a four-year contract with Serie B club Brescia. After he played for one season in Serie A and two seasons in Serie B for the club, Javorčić went out on loans to Serie B club Crotone and Serie C1 club Treviso during 2001. He joined Serie A club Atalanta in 2002, but did not play for the first team. Next he transferred to second division Arezzo, but suffered a career-threatening knee injury in May 2004 that kept him off the field for more than two years. He returned from injury in October 2006, playing for Pizzighettone in Serie C1.[1]
Coaching career[]
After his retirement from active footballing, Javorčić returned at his former club Brescia as a youth coach.
On 15 December 2014, after the dismissal of head coach Ivo Iaconi, it was announced Javorčić would take charge of the first team on an interim basis.[2] He was allowed to guide Brescia only for a short period due to him not having the required coaching badges.
During his short tenure as a coach, he managed to guide Brescia to a slight improvement in results despite a troubled financial situation, and ended his caretaking spell on 21 January 2015 with a 3–1 home win against high-flying Frosinone before to hand over coaching duties to Salvatore Giunta.[3]
He then served as head coach of Lega Pro club Mantova from October 2015 to March 2016. On April 2017, he was named new head coach of Serie D club Pro Patria.[4] They advanced to third-tier Serie C at the end of the 2017–18 season, with Javorčić guiding them for the following three seasons in the league.
On 8 June 2021, Pro Patria announced Javorčić's departure from the club.[5] On 14 June 2021, he was unveiled as the new head coach of fellow Serie C club Südtirol on a two-year contract.[6]
