Ivan Budinčević (Serbian Cyrillic: Иван Будинчевић; born 7 July 1955) is a Yugoslav retired football goalkeeper most remembered for his professional spell with 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 Northern Serbia until age of 45.
[3] He was also technical director[4] 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.
