NK Zagreb
[1] After World War II NK Zagreb had a considerable success in former Yugoslavia being enlisted as a notable club (at least 10 top-flight seasons or at least one title) in the Yugoslav First League.The biggest achievement in that period happened in 1964–65 season when Zagreb finished 6th under the management of coach Gustav Lechner[1] and contribution of an all-time club legend, prolific forward Zlatko Dračić, a league top goalscorer.Under the guidance of manager Zlatko Kranjčar, against all odds, NK Zagreb surprisingly won the championship, with club's young striker Ivica Olić securing a title of league top goalscorer.[1] The less known, outmoded nickname Pogorelci, roughly translated as "The Smolders" formed in 1978 as a result of blazing fire which obliterated Zagreb's stadium, is being used once again to refer and describe the present-day state of affairs at the club.The players who played for Zagreb were: Filipčić, Schwarz, Todl, Mutefelija, Slavnič, Ugrinić, Polivka, Uhrl, Višinger, Koruna, and Torbić.NK Zagreb continued to bear its name, acquiring so, a license for the upcoming first division season[1] that was scheduled to start in less than a month.The greatest success in that period was in the 1964–65 season when NK Zagreb won 6th place under coach Gustav Lechner[1] and with a prolific forward Zlatko Dračić who became top scorer with 23 goals in 26 league appearances.Zagreb team lineup for this match was: Horvat, Gašparini, Tucak, Antolić, Ivanišević, Lipovac (Bakota), Čopor, Močibob (Hušidić), Rukljač, Markulin, Smolek.For next two seasons Zagreb repeated the same success by winning their North division titles in 1985–86 and 1986–87, but in both occasions failed to secure a promotion to Second League in the last stage of finals against Mladost Petrinja and Šparta Beli Manastir.After promptly winning the title in second division, Zagreb returned and managed to play two more (2014–15, 2015–16) seasons in top level of Croatian football before irretrievably plunging into overall deterioration which in the end led to up-to-date situation.Playing the roles of one president, coach, director, manager and gatekeeper under the blessing and protection of Mayor Milan Bandić he disposed and replaced any opposing forces at the club with like-minded people.With mayor's numerous white collar affairs, non-transparent spending, budget deficit and overall negative public mood NK Zagreb was once again put aside from media attention and left to mercy of its president.After Jurendić incident, mediocre play in the end saw them finish at mid-table in 9th place despite having one of best players and goalscorers of division Filip Matijasević,[2] scoring 17 goals.[2] The Head of City Control Office after anonymous reports of irregularities occurring at the club in 2017–18 ordered an inspection of NK Zagreb.[2] The club suffered a disastrous start to 2018–19 Third Croatian Football League West season with opening 5–0 away defeat at hands of NK Krk.[9] Team lineup at the start of season was: Kurtović, Čilić, Vinski, Tarić, Zebić, Bektaši, Mihoković, Marinić, Jokić, Pavlic, Regović, Rajnović.[6] Results achieved in 2018–19 season were the outcome of the club's controversial president Dražen Medić's decision to start the competition with the youth team members.Zagreb inexperienced young players suddenly found themselves playing main roles in their first ever senior football, many of them directly skipping through youth teams such as above mentioned Karlo Mihoković who was age 16 at the time.So, as of 2018–19 season NK Zagreb is using their training camp ZAGREBello venue with an approximate capacity of 1000 as a home ground for its official fixtures which is located in Veslačka street.In 1978 a large blazing fire destroyed the west stand of stadium for the second time which led to NK Zagreb's earning the nickname Pogorelci, meaning The Smolders.In June 2008 UEFA inspection had visited the Kranjčević Street Stadium and gave it a 3-star rating, but criticised the lack of floodlights (which have been installed two months later) and press box provisions.
