Ivan Budinčević (Serbian Cyrillic: Иван Будинчевићћ, born 7 July 1955) is a former Yugoslav football goalkeeper most remembered for his professional spell with Hajduk Split.

He began his career in his home city with the Bačka Subotica and continued with the biggest local club Spartak, where he attracted the attention of the media and of the leading Yugoslav clubs, so he went to Hajduk Split. At the beginning he was a substitute to Ivan Katalinić, but later he became the first choice keeper, winning the title in the season 1978–79..

After Hajduk, he was playing with NK Olimpija Ljubljana and Dinamo Vinkovci[1] until a life-threatening injury suffered during a game has interrupted his career at the age 33. However, three years later, the economic hardship and a need to make a living for his family has forced him to resume the goal-keeping, so he played with low-level clubs in Vojvodina until age of 45.

After another jobless period, he became the goalkeeper coach in his first club Bačka.

Coaching career

At the second "European Championship of the Croatian Minorities" held in Split 2009, he was the manager of the team of the Croatian Minority in Vojvodina, gaining the third place.[2] He was also technical director[3] of the team at Europeada 2012 (The Football Tournament of the Autochthonous National Minorities in Europe), held in Upper Lusatia, Germany (16–24 June 2012), where they also have reached the third place.[4]
