Mićun Jovanić

Club

He was one of the most consistent members of Hajduk's golden generation which dominated Yugoslav football in the 1970s and won four Yugoslav First League championships and five Yugoslav Cup titles. Because of this, Jovanić is one of the three most decorated Hajduk players in the history of the club (along with Dražen Mužinić and Luka Peruzović). Throughout his career Jovanić had appeared in 210 league matches and scored 27 league goals for Hajduk.

International

Unlike many of his teammates from that era who went on to become regular Yugoslav internationals (such as Jurica Jerković, Ivica Šurjak, Slaviša Žungul and Dražen Mužinić), Jovanić was never capped for the national team, although he did appear 4 times for Yugoslavia at youth levels.

After retiring from playing in 1985 Jovanić had several managing spells at lower level Croatian sides, including a 1991 spell with RNK Split and two spells at Segesta.

Death

In early July 2010 the Croatian media reported that Jovanić had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and that a fundraising campaign was launched to raise some 20,000 euros for his treatment abroad. In spite of the successful fundraiser, Jovanić died on the night between 25 and 26 July 2010 at his home in Kaštel Gomilica near Split.
