Former Croatia international Davor Suker was elected head of the national football federation (HNS) on Thursday, replacing Vlatko Markovic who had spent 14 years at the helm of the HNS.
The 44-year old former Real Madrid forward, who won the Golden Boot at the 1998 World Cup, was approved unanimously at an HNS board meeting and he will remain in charge until the end of 2014.
The HNS is also expected to appoint Igor Stimac, Suker's former team mate in the side that won third place at the 1998 World Cup, as the national squad manager later on Thursday, as Slaven Bilic stepped down to become head coach at Lokomotiv Moscow.
