Stanko "Špaco" Poklepović (19 April 1938 – 24 December 2018) was a Croatian professional football player and manager.
He made his impact in the 1984–85 Yugoslav First League as a manager of Hajduk Split when he took over the Yugoslav powerhouse at the time when many important players left the club and many young players like Asanović, Andrijašević and Španjić joined the club with no experience.
In the Europa League, he defeated Anderlecht 1–0 on Poljud, which was Hajduk's biggest European victory since the mid 1990s.
[4] In February 2015, five years later, Poklepović returned again to Hajduk Split for the fourth time in his career,[1] but later in April, he was sacked because of underperforming in the league.
Poklepović died on 24 December 2018, at Split Hospital, after a long battle with health issues, aged 80.
