Slaven Bilic - leading Croatia to victories

Slaven Bilić, a former Croatian Football player is the current coach of the Croatian national team. Being Croatia's most important defender in their golden years from 1994-1998, he combined a high football IQ with an underated athletic build to become an exceptional defender and vital member of Croatia's bronze medal winning World Cup Squad. He was a unnaimous choice of the executive committee of the Croatian Football Federation to be the new coach of Croatia despite being just 37 year old. Bilić, began as a coach during the 2002/03 season with HNK Hajduk Split, his first football club. His greatest achievement came at the 1998 FIFA World Cup when he helped Croatia to a third-place finish and he ultimately won 44 caps.

Croatia have been a strong side since their first tournament, Euro 96 and then the France 1998 World Cup. Slaven Bilic was a key part of the Croatian squad for Euro 2008 qualifiers and their achievements continues from a deserved win over England to a 7-0 thrashing victory over Andorra and a consistency of only two draw and no losses. Croatia tops Group E with 17 points and could pull away from the chasing pack if they continue this form.
