Filip Tapalović (born 22 October 1976 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany) is a former Croatian international footballer and former assistant head coach for EFL Championship club Hull City.
He made his debut for Croatia in a May 2002 friendly match away against Hungary and earned a total of three caps, scoring no goals. His final international was four months later, a European Championship qualification match against Estonia.[1]
In 2013 he became youth team manager at 1860 Munich.[2] He left the club after two seasons.
On 26 June 2017, he became assistant manager at A-League club Adelaide United.[3] Tapalović departed following Adelaide United's decision not to renew Marco Kurz' contract and followed Kurz to Melbourne Victory where he is currently the club's assistant manager.[4]
On 4 July 2024, Tapalović was appointed as assistant head coach at Hull City.[5] On 27 November 2024, the club parted ways with head coach Tim Walter and his assistant Tapalović, following a run of four straight defeats and nine games without a win.[6]
His brother Toni Tapalović is also a former footballer and was employed as a goalkeeper coach at Bayern Munich.
