Common card · No. 488163

Tomislav Ivić (Croatian pronunciation: [tǒmislaʋ ǐːʋitɕ]; 30 June 1933 – 24 June 2011) was a Croatian professional football player and manager. Often described as a brilliant strategist, Ivić is credited with helping develop the modern style of the game. In April 2007, Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport proclaimed him as the most successful football manager in history, due to his seven league titles won in five countries. He is also one of six managers—along with Carlo Ancelotti, José Mourinho, Giovanni Trapattoni, Ernst Happel and Eric Gerets—to have won top-flight domestic league championships in at least four countries.
