During his club career he has played for numerous clubs in Croatia, collecting over 300 caps and scoring over 50 goals.[1] Although a versatile and talented midfielder, he never earned a cap with the Croatia national team.

Coaching career

He started as a manager with Inter Zaprešić in 2008, later moving to Saudi Arabia, at Al-Faisaly with Zlatko Dalić, who was named head coach. In 2012, he came back to Croatia and was named the manager of Inter Zaprešić again. In 2014, again with Dalić, he moved to United Arab Emirates, at Al-Ain. The club reached the final match of the AFC Champions League in 2016, which lost.

On 30 August 2017, he was named the head coach of Croatian Second Football League club HNK Šibenik.[2] In his first season with the club based on Croatian coast, he finished the 7th in the league. On 5 June 2019, two days after Šibenik lost to Istra 1961 in two qualification matches for the advance in the first tier, he terminated the contract with the club.[3]

On 22 June 2019, Perković was named the new manager of Prva HNL club NK Varaždin.[4] On 8 October 2019, he was sacked by the club, following a series of defeats in the league.[5]

gollark: Trump doesn't even cover it up.
gollark: > Earning tons of money through a job that indirectly exploits developing nations and then donating some part of that money to a charity that helps developing nations is probably a net negative for these nations.How do most jobs go around exploiting developing nations? Also, IIRC the figures are something like one life saved per few hundred/thousand $, so I doubt it.
