Zagreb, Croatia (My Sportsbook) - Zlatko Kranjcar was named the new head coach for Croatia, just several weeks after Otto Baric resigned following EURO 2004. Baric and Croatia failed to make it out of the group stage of the competition in Portugal. Kranjcar takes over the young squad after signing a two-year deal. He was chosen over Martin Novoselac, who will now work alongside Kranjcar as an assistant. The 47-year-old Kranjcar is a former player who has also twice captured the Croatian League championship as a coach. |
