Ivan Katalinić (born 17 May 1951) is a Croatian former footballer and former manager who had a successful playing career with Hajduk Split and Southampton in the 1970s and 1980s.
From 1996 until 2002 he was part of the Croatian national team's coaching staff that led Croatia to bronze medal in the World Cup 1998.
The long-awaited day occurred on 29 September 1971, when he came on as a substitute for injured Radomir Vukčević in the European Cup first-round return-leg in Split, against Valencia.
After trials with West Bromwich Albion and Derby County, followed by unsuccessful attempts to gain his work permit, Katalinić finally made a breakthrough with Southampton.
After signing a four-year contract with Southampton in February 1980, Katalinić became the first Croatian ever to play in the First Division (today known as the Premier League).
His debut came on 30 January 1977 when Yugoslavia beat Colombia 1–0 at Estadio El Campín in Bogotá and his last game was in Rome on 18 May 1978 versus Italy at stadio Olimpico in a scoreless draw.
Under his helm, two months later, Hajduk won Croatian Cup after two legged final against great rival Dinamo Zagreb.
After five years of coaching abroad (Bahrain, Albania, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina) in the summer of 2009 Katalinić surprised many with his move to ambitious Croatian Third Division side Dugopolje.
In July 2016, Katalinić was named the manager of Šibenik, but after the team lost to NK Zagreb, and continued a poor series, he was sacked on 9 October 2016.
