Dino Drpić (born 26 May 1981) is a Croatian professional footballer who last played for Savski Marof. A product of Dinamo Zagreb Academy, Drpić turned professional in 2000 and went on to spend nine years with the club.
Drpić rose through the youth ranks of Dinamo and became a consistent performer in the first squad. He debuted for the first team in a UEFA Champions League qualifiers return match at A.C. Milan on 9 August 2000,[2] and was one of the key figures in Dinamo's squad in the upcoming seasons. Dinamo loaned Dino to Karlsruher SC in 2008–09 winter transfer window following a scandal in which it was revealed that he and his Playboy model wife Nives Celzijus had sex on the grass at Dinamo's ground.[3] He was signed permanently during the season and was released on 22 April 2010.[4] After Karlsruhe, Drpić had brief spells with AEK Athens in Greece and Volyn Lutsk in Ukraine before returning to Croatia in March 2012, signing for HNK Rijeka.[5]
In January 2013, he signed with Brunei DPMM FC[6] as one of their foreign players for the 2013 S.League season.[7]
In April 2013, DPMM FC terminated Drpić's contract. He went back to Croatia in search of new club.
After winning almost 30 caps as a Croatian youth international and having participated in the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, Drpić received his first call-up to represent the country as a full international in 2007. He made his debut for Croatia on 16 October 2007 in a friendly match against Slovakia, but did not feature in any of the team's qualifying matches for the UEFA Euro 2008. In the end, it remains his only full international appearance.[8]
Drpić was married to Playboy model and singer Nives Celzijus, with whom he has children Taiša and Leone. They divorced in 2014.[9]
While on holiday in Krk in the summer of 2008, a British couple tried to kidnap their son Leone after mistaking him for Madeleine McCann.[10]
