Jerko Tipurić

Tipurić' main successes as manager were the 1996 Belgian Cup final and the 2002 second division championship, both as manager of Cercle Brugge. Also particular about his managerial career is the fact that he does not mind to train lower league teams when he receives no interest from professional clubs. Tipurić took charge at RC Zuid-West-Vlaanderen in 2001 and at Wevelgem City in 2005 and later was manager of BS Poperinge, playing in the highest level of West Flanders. That is the fifth level in Belgian football, just under the lowest nationwide division. He promoted with Poperinge in 2009 to 4th division. With BS Poperinge, Tipurić survived the battle against relegation in their first season, the second season was more relaxed. His contract was not renewed however because the board felt that it was time for a change. Tipurić rejoined Cercle in October 2014 as assistant to manager Arnar Viðarsson. He also coached Diksmuide and in December 2021, Tipurić left the women's team of SV Bredene after only three months at the helm.
