Former Croatia women’s international, Tihana Nemčić, is taking over fifth division side NK Viktorija Vojakovac- not as a cheerleader, but as manager. The 24 year-old Nemčić also models on the side.
Is this just a publicity stunt or is Nemčić serious about coaching in Croatia? She just recently graduated from the University of Sport in Croatia this past spring.
“I am the head coach and I have full liberty to create and plan the team’s tactics,” Nemčić said. “If a woman and a man have the same professional qualifications for a coaching job, I see no reason why I should not get into male football.”
“We listen to her,” Viktorija player Tiho Jagušić said. “She is very strict at training.” Nemčić got interested in the sport when she used to follow her boyfriend to training. “I was watching him play, how he played … and then I started to play myself and it has become part of me to this very day,” she said. “This is a big challenge for me. I have had some experience with kids, but with men’s teams — no.”
Nemčić, who was among 15 finalists for the beauty title of Croatia Miss Sport in 2008, does face a particular challenge in coaching the men. “We have a rule,” she said. “Boys go in to change. When they are finished, one of them comes out and calls me in. I would never put myself in the situation to walk in on them inside the dressing room.”

i wouldnt play for her id play with her 😉
This chick is a million times more Croatian than douchebag samir could ever hope or wish to be in a million years. I’d rather see a Serb willingly play for Croatia than chumpir. It’s really pathetic that the holy hallowed halls of Croatian national team football have been tainted with loser management who think the answer is calling up chumpir, a brazilian salsa dancing janitor, whos mom fucks rottweilers. This isnt league play for fucks sake, I’m on the verge of throwing my national jersey in the garbage or at least not wear it until the national team gets straightened out and takes the pineapples out of their asses, which it seems is going the opposite way now.

There’s 7 guys in this video, 5 of them very good friends of mine, and 2 related to me, if sammo starts with his lipflapping crying and tounge wagging and complaining about his hair and about Croatian soccer and mangers, theyre gonna straighten him out , big time, I’m not talking no BBB flag waving. I’m talking in the system big time, he should go back to whining in brazil.
OMG where has she been all my life?
@GoldenChild
there are no ticket sales in the fifth division in Croatia lol. Basically they play on a field with a fence around it and you show up if you want. Usually in Croatia the lower level fields have a cafe near it so thats the only place which will make money 😀
for a second i thought the heading read ” would you pay for her ” and yea i would
I could translate the spanish parts of the Modric documentary if you are interested.
Fucking awesome video man, too bad I don’t know spanish, but the croatian and english parts worked nicely
@jersey
I know that, but they didnt hire her for her amazing tactical knowledge of the game. They got exactly what they wanted…maybe they’ll get some more ticket sales for pivo after the game.
maybe u guys have seen this but it is very inspirational and i enjoyed it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XaCx2F4934

No chance. Absolutely no chance. If you want to create a separate league for mixed gender teams and people who are transgender then they can go ahead, but this is the mens league, lets maintain some human values here, we’re running a professional football league, not a circus.
I fear that the way the corporate west keeps on recreating culture that serves the interest of capitalism will spill over to sports one day and we will have all sorts of stupidity put in place that will damage the game. I know it’s not sports related but how dare they put a male born transgender ‘woman’ in the Miss World competition, why are they forcing this down our throat? I will never accept the culture and values the west keeps recreating over the culture and values my religion teaches me, but yet I’m the bigot from the past and the new wave of accepting people who are tolerant of everything are the ‘educated’ and ‘enlightened’ people.
At the end of the day, football is a business, and it would not surprise me if in 20 years time we have quotas in our game to accept at least 2 or 3 transgenders in every club. It will make the game less male dominant and increase interest in a lot of women and the ever growing LGBT community increasing profits and sales, that’s all the people at the top of the footballing hierarchy care about.
@CroatHrvat
If there was a girl who was good enough to play on Dinamo, you think they shouldnt sign her?
publicity stunt? Not really
its the 5th division, my cousin plays in the 4.HNL…its all amatuer and they maybe train 1-2 times a week and play on the weekends, its not a serious coaching job in reality.
Cluj almost grab a point from Man Utd 1 – 2
Bate beat Bayern 3 – 1 today
@Zach
Of coarse she’s a woman, at least I hope so. I’m saying what’s next though?
@CroatHrvat
You serious??? If you thinks she looks like a transsexual you should get your eyes checked.
Shocking result for Bayern today
Man Ziva loves people’s pushing buttons. I would have freaked out if it was last year, but now you just got to get used to it. Ziva is a star on the site and has my vote for poster of the year when awards come around.
Here we go, the liberalization of Croatian football. This is more worrying than Sammir for me. Are we going to see a transsexual who can now chose to change ‘her’ gender from female to male be allowed to play in the mens league next? LGBT’s and women please stay out of the mens leagues please.
There a Dinamo fan here? Are you kidding OMG.
@Colin ,please don’t try to protect the most arrogant team in the HNL – dinamo . This is wrong . Any thing for a kuna i guess . Slabo
@ ziva . i think an inappropriate comment. can’t recommend people go to church and then say things like that
Hey Ante B what do you think about yer Arrogant Dinamo making a peader calander ? What a bunch of a-holes.
@Bobby V………I’ll send him a driving and safety manual so he can operate a car.
Pretty sad that nothing has been written about or even commented about Boris Vukcevic. In fact, I’m ashamed for all of us.
Will she coach in a bikini????
Where the fuck is Vojakovac?
Edit: Between Bjelovar and Korprivnica apparently.

Bravo
Gotta love publicity stunts. She won’t be able to get any of her players to come off the bench because none of them will want to stand up.
@ Poofy
he’s definitely cuter than that!!
Go Tihana………………….
@ Allen Steven
What’s wrong with you? Why disaster?
@DinamoDennis
Sammir is so cute. He looks like one of those monkees in the bloodhound gang video when they are in paris.
Don’t forget all the gay men like at the American MLS who has a huge gay fan base. Portland Timbers big gayos.
This has disaster and sex scandal all over it. You stay classy Croatia.
Cant wait to see Sammir wear the checkers!
@Elvis – Eh, no big deal. Pretty much every pro sports team does something like that. I’m sure we all know plenty of women who go to sporting events just to stare at the players.
can we see the other 14 finalists ?
Just another reason why Dinamo is just not a serious football club.

Omg she is awesome!!! Beautiful Croatian girl. Lets focus on her and not Sammir.
[…] if only i got to have a coach like this OOF Croatian Sports Reply With Quote […]
She would definitely help me reach my full potential!
I can’t wait to hear Ziva’s comment on this 🙂
