Marko Salatović (born 4 December 1984) is a Croatian football coach and former player. He is currently the assistant head coach of EFL Championship club Hull City.[2][3][4]
Coaching career
Salatović is a UEFA Pro licence holder, and began his coaching career at his former club NK Sesvete. Whilst there he acted as assistant to Dino Babić, before a short spell as the head coach of the U19s.[4] For the majority of his coaching career, Salatović has been the assistant of Sergej Jakirović. The pair first worked together with NK Maribor in 2020. In the years since, they have coached together in Bosnia, Croatia, Turkey, and England.[5][6]
In May 2022, whilst coaching at HŠK Zrinjski Mostar, Salatović found himself in the news for the wrong reasons when he claimed he could not remember the name of FK Velež Mostar coach Feđa Dudić following a recent 1–1 draw in the Mostar derby.[7] Just under a year later, in February 2023, Salatović accompanied Jakirović at Dinamo Zagreb after a brief spell together at HNK Rijeka. The pair left the club by mutual consent on 19 September 2024,[8] having been beaten 9–2 away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League two days prior.[9]
The duo then worked with Kayserispor for the last half of the 2024–25 season,[10] steering them clear of relegation and keeping the side in the top flight.[6] After their dismissal following the campaign's conclusion, Jakirović was appointed head coach of EFL Championship club Hull City on 11 June 2025, where he was joined by Salatović.[2][3]
