Ivan Javorčić (born 24 January 1979) is a Croatian football manager and a former player, currently in charge as assistant coach of Italian Serie A club Lazio.
Playing career
[edit]Born in Split, Javorčić began playing football for the youth side of local club RNK Split. He first played for the senior team at age 15.[1]
Javorčić spent most of his career in Italy, where he moved in 1996 to sign a four-year contract with Serie B club Brescia. After he played for one season in Serie A and two seasons in Serie B for the club, Javorčić went out on loans to Serie B club Crotone and Serie C1 club Treviso during 2001. He joined Serie A club Atalanta in 2002 but did not play for the first team. Successively, he transferred to the second division Arezzo but suffered a career-threatening knee injury in May 2004 that kept him off the field for more than two years. He returned from injury in October 2006, playing for Pizzighettone in Serie C1.[1]
Coaching career
[edit]After retiring from active footballing, Javorčić returned to his former club Brescia as a youth coach.
On 15 December 2014, after the dismissal of head coach Ivo Iaconi, it was announced that Javorčić would take charge of the first team on an interim basis.[2] He was allowed to guide Brescia only for a short period due to him not having the required coaching badges.
During his short tenure as a coach, he managed to guide Brescia to a slight improvement in results despite a troubled financial situation and ended his caretaking spell on 21 January 2015 with a 3–1 home win against high-flying Frosinone before to hand over coaching duties to Salvatore Giunta.[3]
He then served as head coach of Lega Pro club Mantova from October 2015 to March 2016. In April 2017, he was named new head coach of Serie D club Pro Patria.[4] They advanced to third-tier Serie C at the end of the 2017–18 season, with Javorčić guiding them for the following three seasons in the league.
On 8 June 2021, Pro Patria announced Javorčić's departure from the club.[5] On 14 June 2021, he was unveiled as the new head coach of fellow Serie C club Südtirol on a two-year contract.[6] On his first season in charge, Javorčić guided Südtirol to triumph in the Group A of the 2021–22 Serie C, achieving promotion to Serie B for the first time in the club's history; in addition to that, he led Südtirol to make it all the way to the 2021–22 Coppa Italia Serie C finals, lost on aggregate to fellow Group A club Padova.[7]
On 9 June 2022, Javorčić was unveiled as the new head coach of recently-relegated Serie B club Venezia, signing a three-year deal with the Lagunari.[8] His Venezia experience turned out to be short-lived, as he was relieved from his duties on 31 October 2022 due to negative results, leaving the team down in the relegation zone of the 2022–23 Serie B league.[9]
In March 2024, Javorčić rescinded his Venezia contract to join Igor Tudor's coaching staff at Lazio.[10]
