About Zlatko Vujović

Born 1958. Zlatko Vujović is a Yugoslav association football player.

Zlatko Vujović (; born 26 August 1958) is a Yugoslav retired footballer who played as a forward.

His twin brother, Zoran, was also a professional footballer. They were both Yugoslav internationals, and both spent a large part of their professional careers in France.

Club career Born in Sarajevo, Vujović started his professional career with Hajduk Split, making his first division debuts at just 18 and going on to score more than 100 goals in the league (172 overall in 420 matches), while often partnering his brother Zoran. He helped his first club win one league in 1979 and one cup five years later, also being named Yugoslav Footballer of the Year in 1981 by the Večernji list daily.

In 1986, both siblings moved to compete in France, first with Bordeaux: in their first season both were undisputed starters in an eventual double, as Zlatko also scored in the 2–0 cup win against Marseile.

Vujović continued to net with at excellent rate until he retired in 1993, playing in both the first and second levels, with Cannes, Paris Saint-Germain, Sochaux and Nice.

International career Vujović earned 70 caps and scored 25 goals for the Yugoslavia national team, making his debut on 1 April 1979 in a 3–0 win against Cyprus for the UEFA Euro 1980 qualifiers, and was included in the squads for the 1982 and 1990 FIFA World Cups while also playing Olympic football in 1980. His final international was a November 1990 European Championship qualification win away against Denmark.

Managerial career In 2008, Vujović (as had his brother the previous year) began a coaching career, starting as an assistant manager at his first club, Hajduk. He began his third stint in July 2016, when he joined Marijan Pušnik's staff but he left the club in December 2016 after Pušnik was sacked.
