Early career

Klafurić started working as a football manager in Udarnik in 2005[citation needed]. He accepted the place of manager of the Croatia women's national team in 2009.[1] In 2012, Klafurić was sacked as manager.[2] He then started working in the Dinamo Zagreb Academy.[3]

On 16 April 2018, Klafurić took over the caretaker manager role at Polish club Legia Warsaw after fellow compatriot Romeo Jozak got fired.[4][5] Klafurić would go on to win the domestic cup and a domestic league title double.[6] On 4 June 2018, he was appointed as the manager of Legia Warsaw, before getting sacked on 1 August 2018.[7]

Klafurić later worked as manager of Hrvatski Dragovoljac,[8] Cypriot side Ethnikos Achna and Slaven Belupo.

On 24 October 2022, Klafurić was appointed manager of Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Budapest Honvéd.[9] He managed his first Budapest Honvéd match against Fehérvár, losing 1–0 at the Bozsik Aréna on 29 October 2022.[10]

Velež Mostar

[edit]

On 30 August 2023, Bosnian Premier League side Velež Mostar appointed Klafurić as manager on a two-year deal.[11] His first match in charge was a 4–2 away win against Igman Konjic on 16 September 2023.[12]

Klafurić suffered his first defeat as Velež manager against Borac Banja Luka on 1 October 2023.[13] In his first ever Mostar derby, Klafurić's side were defeated by Zrinjski on 18 October 2023.[14] He led the club to a 3–0 home win against Zrinjski on 13 November 2023, Velež's first derby win in three years.[15] He finished the season with Velež in third place, qualifying for the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League first qualifying round.[16]

On 17 June 2024, it was announced by Velež that Klafurić had surprisingly left the club by mutual consent.[17]
