Nenad Gracan is the new Rijeka club coach

Croatian Times

Nenad Gracan is Rijeka football club coach once more.

Rijeka-born Gracan has succeeded Zoran Vulic, who resigned on Monday because of the club's bad results.

Gracan coached Rijeka in 1997 when he started his coaching career.  He later coached Hajduk (Split), Koper (Slovenia), Osijek, Dinamo (Zagreb), Istra, and Sesvete.

Gracan told the Index website: "I really wanted to return to Rijeka, and I want the club to do well. Rijeka is a very serious club with high standards and criteria. I believe in the team's quality, and I know we can have good results."
