Aljoša Asanović (born 14 December 1965) is a Croatian football coach and former player who played as a midfielder.

Asanović is best known for his great performance in the mid-to-late 1990s when he played for Derby County and for Croatia during Euro 96 as well as the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

The club signed Asanović and several other important players such as Igor Štimac, Tonči Gabrić and Barcelona youngster Goran Vučević, as they were eager to qualify for 1994–95 UEFA Champions League for the first time since Croatian independence.

In July 1996, Asanović was signed by Premier League club Derby County, where he played alongside his former Hajduk teammate Igor Štimac.

He established himself in the team quickly and managed to make appearance in 15 Serie A games during his six month spell with the club, but failed to score a single goal.

After a short spell in Australia, he played in the Canadian Professional Soccer League with Toronto Croatia, and then he returned to his hometown club Hajduk Split to finish his career.

Asanović participated in the Euro 1996 as well as the 1998 FIFA World Cup, in which Croatia won the bronze medal.

In semi-final of the FIFA World Cup, Asanović made a spectacular assist to Davor Šuker from the centre of the field with a loop pass, for Croatia to take the lead against the host France.

After his departure from the national team, Asanović took up another assistant role, this time in Russia, following Slaven Bilić to Lokomotiv Moscow.

In October 2017, Asanović took up a job in Australia, becoming the head coach of National Premier Leagues Victoria side Melbourne Knights.
