Mirko Hrgović

Široki Brijeg

Hrgović has played for Posušje and Široki Brijeg in the Bosnian Premier League, Gamba Osaka and JEF United Chiba in the Japanese J1 League, VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and rivals Hajduk Split and Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian First League among others.

Dinamo Zagreb

On 18 July 2008, Hrgović signed a three-year contract with Dinamo Zagreb. His move, albeit not directly from Hajduk Split to Dinamo, stirred quite a controversy among both Hajduk and Dinamo fans. While Hajduk fans tend to see the move as treason to their beloved club, Dinamo fans cannot forgive the physical altercation between Hrgović and a couple of them that occurred seven months earlier during the national futsal competition. Graffiti against Hrgović and death threats, including a puppet of him being hanged by the Dinamo stadium fence, were registered.

Greuther Fürth

On 17 July 2009, Hrgović signed a two-year contract with 2. Bundesliga side Greuther Fürth. He was released on 25 November 2009.

Return to Široki Brijeg

After his release in November 2009 by Greuther Fürth, Hrgović returned to his former club Široki Brijeg in March 2010.

Born in Croatia, Hrgović decided to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina after his games went unnoticed in Croatia. He decided to take Bosnia and Herzegovina nationality while playing for Široki Brijeg. He was called up by national team head coach Blaž Slišković. Hrgović made his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a February 2003 friendly game away against Wales. He has earned a total of 29 caps, scoring 2 goals. Hrgović played regularly during Blaž Slišković's time as the national team's head coach. After Slišković's resignation in 2006, he also played under Fuad Muzurović and Meho Kodro. When Miroslav Blažević became head coach, Hrgović was dropped for several games. He would eventually be called back to represent the country in the last two games of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign against Estonia and Spain. His final international was an October 2009 World Cup qualifying game against the latter.

Following his retirement from active football, Hrgović became a manager. He worked as an assistant at Široki Brijeg, Sheriff Tiraspol, Beijing Guoan and Šibenik. In May 2024, Hrgović was named as an assistant of newly appointed Bosnia and Herzegovina national team head coach Sergej Barbarez.
