Ex-Yugoslavia international footballer Gudelj
Former Yugoslavia defensive midfielder and Croatia’s first-division side Hajduk Split legend Ivan Gudelj died aged 66, the club said Wednesday.
“The entire Hajduk family was saddened today by the news that Ivan Gudelj has passed away,” the club said in a statement.
Joining Hajduk Split as a boy, he quickly progressed from a highly talented youngster to one of the most prominent players of his generation and a true club legend, it added.
He remained a one-club player, with Hajduk saying he made 362 appearances and scored 93 goals for the club as youth and senior between 1976 and 1986.
