Global InformationList of GNK Dinamo Zagreb managers information
GNK Dinamo Zagreb is a professional football club based in Zagreb, Croatia, which plays in the Prva HNL. This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Dinamo Zagreb from 1945, when the first professional manager was appointed, to the present day. Caretaker managers are included, where known.
The first manager of Dinamo Zagreb was Márton Bukovi, who joined the club along with a number of players from Građanski Zagreb, a club disbanded just after World War II in 1945. Bukovi was in charge from 1945 to 1947 and in the next quarter century after him coaches were mostly his former players from Građanski (Mirko Kokotović, Franjo Glaser, Bernard Hügl, Milan Antolković, Ivan Jazbinšek, Gustav Lechner, Branko Zebec and Stjepan Bobek). There were only four non-Yugoslav managers in the history of the club, Márton Bukovi (1945–47), Karl Mütsch (1948), Osvaldo Ardiles (1999) and Ivaylo Petev (2016–2017). Vahid Halilhodžić is the only non-Croatian ex-Yugoslav manager to take over the team since the breakup of Yugoslavia.
