Josip "Mićo" Duvančić (1 October 1935 – 17 April 2023) was a Yugoslav and Croatian football manager and player.[1]

Playing career

Born in Razvođe, a village near Drniš, Duvančić spent two seasons with Partizan from 1956 to 1958, making 18 league appearances and scoring two times. He also helped the club win the Yugoslav Cup in 1957, contributing with two goals in the process.[2]

After a stint with Vojvodina, Duvančić joined Yugoslav Second League side Sloboda Tuzla in 1960. He helped the club win promotion to the Yugoslav First League in 1962. Before retiring, Duvančić also played abroad for İzmirspor in Turkey.[3]

Managerial career

After hanging up his boots, Duvančić acted as an assistant to Sloboda Tuzla manager Dušan Varagić and later Munib Saračević. He replaced Saračević as manager in November 1970, managing to save the club from relegation and reaching the Yugoslav Cup final that season. In 1976, Duvančić left the position and took charge of Hajduk Split, going on to win the 1976–77 Yugoslav Cup.

In the summer of 1979, Duvančić was appointed as manager of Partizan, finishing the season in 13th place. He subsequently led three more Yugoslav First League clubs, namely Osijek, Vojvodina, and Budućnost Titograd.

In the 1986–87 season, Duvančić served as manager of Sarıyer in Turkey.[4]
