Tomislav Ivić, the Split-born “Little Napoleon,” wasn’t just a coach, he was a football visionary who turned Hajduk into an unbeatable machine, winning titles in six countries! While other coaches whined, he was snagging championships with Ajax, Anderlecht, Marseille, Porto, and more, in a style Rinus Michels himself praised as the heir to total football! But of course, Split never fully embraced him—because who can understand a genius? Ivić was tough, aggressive, and a brilliant tactician who hunted results like no other. Think today’s coaches are masters? Wait till you hear about this legendary “Little Napoleon”! Drop a comment if you think Ivić deserved more respect or if you reckon he’s overrated—let’s light up the debate!
