Dražen Biškup

NK Zagreb

Biškup played for NK Dinamo Zagreb in the Yugoslav First League and for NK Zagreb in Yugoslav Third League, Yugoslav Second League and later in the Croatian Prva HNL. Biškup spent almost entire his career in NK Zagreb. He started playing professional football in Dinamo, in which he did not receive sufficient minutes on the pitch. Therefore, he decided to join NK Zagreb, which then played in the third division. After two seasons in NK Zagreb he attempted to try one more time with Dinamo, but after his lack of opportunity in Dinamo once again, he returned to the Zagreb team in the season 1990/1991 when Zagreb played in second Yugoslav division and immediately helped them win championship and promotion to the First Division the following year, which have not been played due to the breakup of Yugoslavia. He stayed with Zagreb in the newly established Croatian football league and helped achieve the best results in the club's history. In 1992 season they ended up as vice-champions, after close battle with Hajduk. 1992–93 they won third place, and in 1993–94 they finished second again and again behind the Hajduk for only a point. After a short episode in Austria, he returned to Zagreb and in 1996–97 season made it to the Cup finals in which they lost undeserved with the referee help to Dinamo 1–2 at Maksimir. He played until the end of 1999–2000 season, when he decided to end his career at 35 years of age in his favorite club and leave his place to younger…

Biškup made his debut for Croatia in a June 1991 friendly match away against Slovenia, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Aljoša Asanović, and earned a total of 5 caps scoring no goals. His final international was an October 1992 friendly against Mexico.

After years of coaching in Suhopolje there was a desire for change. He replaced Suhopolje by another second-league club, NK Lučko, a club whose ambitions were much bigger. It was a debut season in the second division for NK Lučko. He took the club prior tenth round, and lost first game against NK Vinogradar away 3–1. In the end he won fourth place in the league, behind third-placed NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac who won promotion to the first division thanks to two goals scored more than NK Lučko since both teams won 42 points. The following 2010–11 season he managed to secure promotion to first division as vice-champions of the second division. Only better than them was HNK Gorica. In that season NK Lučko made a league record away win against the club which he also managed before, HNK Suhopolje, 7–0. He led the club in their debut season in the first division 2011–12 but did not remain long in the position of head coach because after five rounds, and only one point won in the first division, he concluded an agreement on terminating the contract with NK Lučko on 22 August 2011. Fatal set of results, which resulted in termination of the contract was 1–1 vs Zadar, 0–1 vs Rijeka, 0–2 vs Istra 1961, 0–1 vs Zagreb and 1–2 vs Split. At the end of the season NK Lučko still failed to save their status as a major league club by finishing thirteenth out of sixteen clubs in the championship and were relegated to the second league. Just a few days after, he took up a new job at NK Zelina. NK…
