Boro Primorac (; born 5 December 1954) is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player who most recently managed Croatian First Football League club Hajduk Split.

Playing career Club Primorac featured as a centre half with Yugoslavian clubs Velež Mostar and Hajduk Split, as well as for French teams Lille and Cannes. He made his debut for them in a February 1976 friendly match away against Tunisia and has earned a total of 14 caps, scoring no goals. Primorac went on to be triumphant as Yugoslavia won the gold medal in football at the 1979 Mediterranean Games. He also was a part of the Yugoslavian squad which got to the semi-finals of the 1980 Summer Olympics. All together Primorac was capped a sum of 18 times for Yugoslavia. His final international was a November 1980 World Cup qualification match against Italy.

Managerial career After his playing days came to an end, Primorac went on to manage French clubs AS Cannes and Valenciennes. He was intended to be a caretaker, but after 7 points won in 3 matches he had extended the contract to the end of the year. However, Hajduk lost all of its three matches until the end of December and Primorac's contract was not extended again, so he was replaced by Paolo Tramezzani in January 2021.
