List of GNK Dinamo Zagreb managers

GNK Dinamo Zagreb is a professional football club based in Zagreb, Croatia, which plays in the Prva HNL. This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Dinamo Zagreb from 1945, when the first professional manager was appointed, to the present day. Caretaker managers are included, where known.

The first manager of Dinamo Zagreb was Hungarian Márton Bukovi, who joined the club along with a number of players from Građanski Zagreb, a club disbanded just after World War II in 1945. Bukovi was in charge from 1945 to 1947. He is also one of only three non-Yugoslav managers in the history of the club, along with Austrian Karl Mütsch (1948) and Argentine Osvaldo Ardiles (1999). Vahid Halilhodžić is the only non-Croatian ex-Yugoslav manager to take over the team since the breakup of Yugoslavia.

List of managers

Honours

The following table lists managers according to trophies won. In seasons when several managers had spells with the club only the manager who was in charge when the title was won is listed. The most successful manager to date was Miroslav Blažević who had four spells with the club (1980–83, 1986–88, 1992–94, 2002–03) and is the only manager to have won all the domestic honours available to Dinamo in both the Yugoslav and Croatian football league systems, leading Dinamo to a total of 6 trophies.

Ivica Horvat is the only manager who won European silverware with Dinamo, leading them to triumph in the 1967 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final, although he was in charge only for the final tie against Leeds United as Branko Zebec, who was in charge throughout the 1966–67 season, had left the club in the summer of 1967. Dinamo's only other European final came five years earlier in the 1962–63 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, when they were led by Milan Antolković.

Krunoslav Jurčić is the only manager to date to have won two consecutive national titles with Dinamo, winning the 2008–09 and 2009–10 Croatian championships.
