Srečko Katanec ({{IPA|sl|ˈsretʃkɔ kaˈtanɛts|pron|Sl-Srečko Katanec.oga}}; born 16 July 1963) is a Slovenian retired football manager and player. At international level, he was capped for both the Yugoslavia and Slovenia national teams.

A former midfielder, who was also capable of playing as a defender, Katanec is regarded as one of the greatest Slovenian footballers of all time, having represented Yugoslavia at the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, UEFA Euro 1984 and the 1990 FIFA World Cup. After Slovenia's independence, Katanec made five appearances for the newly formed Slovenia national team before retiring from professional football.{{cite news|url=http://www.nzs.si/slovenia/our-legends|title=Our Legends|access-date=24 December 2018|publisher=Football Association of Slovenia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313122708/https://www.nzs.si/slovenia/our-legends|archive-date=13 March 2016}}

During his club career, Katanec won a Yugoslav League championship with FK Partizan and was a runner-up of the 1988–89 UEFA Cup with VfB Stuttgart. In his five-year spell with Sampdoria, he won the Serie A championship, the Coppa Italia and the European Cup Winners' Cup, as well as finishing as a runner-up in the 1992 European Cup final, losing to Barcelona.{{UEFA coach|1264|Srečko Katanec}}

As manager of Slovenia, Katanec led the country to its first major tournament in history after qualifying for the 2000 European Championship and the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Playing career

=Club=

Katanec began playing football at the age of seven with NK Ljubljana. In 1981, he joined Olimpija; in 1985, he joined Dinamo Zagreb; while the next year, he signed with Partizan and was a Yugoslav champion in 1987.{{Reprezentacija|katanec-srecko}}

In 1988, Katanec joined VfB Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga. The club reached the 1989 UEFA Cup final, but lost to Diego Maradona's Napoli. Katanec played just one season for Stuttgart. In 1989, he signed for Italian Serie A side Sampdoria, where he won the European Cup Winners' Cup in his first season. In 1991, Sampdoria won the Scudetto as Serie A champions, while the next year, the club reached the 1992 European Cup final, losing to Barcelona. In 1994, he also won the Coppa Italia with Sampdoria under manager Sven-Göran Eriksson.

=International=

Katanec was a member of the Yugoslavia national team for the 1984 European Championship in France, but he has fonder memories of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, where Yugoslavia team won a bronze medal. He was playing successfully in the qualifying round for 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy so he became the third Slovenian to play at a World Cup, where he appeared in three of Yugoslavia's five matches. These would be his last three caps for Yugoslavia. Altogether, he appeared in 31 matches and scored 5 goals.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/dc-katanec-intl.html|title=Srecko Katanec – International Appearances|access-date=11 November 2023|website=RSSSF|last=Mamrud|first=Roberto}}

Katanec played five more matches (and scored a goal) for the independent Slovenia national team, but appeared in only one official match. That was a qualifying round for the 1996 European Championship, on 7 September 1994 in Maribor against Italy.{{cite web |title=Srećko Katanec, international footballer |url=https://eu-football.info/_player.php?id=10293 |website=eu-football.info |access-date=11 November 2023 |language=en}} Soon after, his contract with Sampdoria expired and he retired from professional football.
