About Igor Bišćan

Igor Bišćan (Croatian pronunciation: [îɡor bǐʃtɕan]; born 4 May 1978) is a Croatian professional football manager and former player who last coached Qatar Stars League club Al-Ahli. In his playing career, he was a versatile player and could play almost every position in defence or midfield, but featured mostly as a central midfielder, or as a central defender in his latter years. Bišćan played for his hometown club Dinamo Zagreb, English club Liverpool, with whom he won a Champions League winners medal, Greek club Panathinaikos, and represented the Croatia national team internationally, debuting in UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying match against North Macedonia on 13 June 1999. Bišćan fell out of favour after his first year at Liverpool, making only 23 appearances in the next two seasons. On 9 October 2018, Bišćan was named head coach of first-tier Prva HNL club Rijeka.
