Managerial career

edit

After having spells as head coach of Dugopolje, Zagora Unešić and Dinara, and as assistant coach of Primorac 1929 and Hajduk Split, Vukas was hired as interim manager by Hajduk following the resignation of Igor Tudor in February 2015.[1] Soon he was named manager permanently but in May of the same year he was sacked and replaced by Damir Burić.[2]

In the period between 2016 and 2018 Vukas worked as assistant coach to Igor Tudor at Karabükspor, Galatasaray and Udinese. On 12 June 2019, he was appointed head coach of Bosnian Premier League club Zrinjski Mostar, following the resignation of Blaž Slišković.[3] Following a 0–2 away defeat against Zvijezda 09 on 2 November 2019, Vukas was fired from Zrinjski two days later.[4][5]

On 23 December 2019, Tudor and Vukas returned to Hajduk Split; Tudor was appointed head coach, while Vukas his assistant.[6] On 21 August 2020, following the appointment of Tudor as Juventus assistant coach, Vukas was named interim manager of Hajduk.[7] On 8 September, it was announced Vukas would take on the role permanently.[8] Following the dismisses of the advisor Mario Stanić and the director of football Ivan Kepčija by newly elected president Lukša Jakobušić, Vukas was fired from Hajduk on 4 November 2020.[9] He was again manager of Dugopolje from July until December 2021.[10]
