Born in Split, Vukasović played for RNK Split, Hajduk Split, La Gantoise, Anderlecht, Cercle Brugge and Lokeren.[1]
Vukasović played in 50 matches for Hajduk and, as it was not allowed to leave Yugoslavia before the age of 28, he was helped by a masseur to move abroad to Belgium, aged 24.[2]
He played 28 matches for La Gantoise, where he succeeded club legend Mance Seghers but was relegated to the second tier.[3] He then had two seasons at Belgian's second level and one back in the top tier with Cercle Brugge.[4]
