Ognjen Vukojevic

The former Croatian footballer, playing as a midfielder, scout of Dynamo Kyiv, part of the coaching staff of the national team of Croatia, has earned a high-profile fame not due to excellent play on the pitch. During the 2018 World Cup, Ognen Vukojevic was at the center of a scandal, himself and provoked.

The future athlete was born in the small Croatian town of Bielovar on December 20, 1983. Since childhood, there was no hobby for the boy other than football. The ball was covered in blood by Ognen because his father was playing as a right-back at a local club.

The man took his son to the games and thus instilled fire interest and love for football. However, for Vukojevic Sr. sport did not go beyond a useful hobby. A man works in the health insurance industry. Ognen's mother is also directly related to health care - the woman devoted her life to nursing.

Ognjen has a brother Olsen, who is five years younger, far from the sport and is not interested in them at all. The brothers did not live together for long, because Ognen left his father's house early, engaged in intensive training and leading a game nomadic life.

The first football school was passed by a midfielder in the children's sports organization "Young Zdralov." After that, his career continued at the club of the hometown of Bielovar.

According to Vukojevic, Croatia has introduced a law prohibiting the conclusion of contracts up to 18 years, including professional football agreements. That is why the conclusion of the contract was delayed until 2003. Then Ognen joined the Team Slaven Belupo. He spent two years at the Club coprivanic club, scoring five goals in 53 matches.

In 2005, the midfielder was included in the Belgian "Liers". Unfortunately, Ognjen failed to open up and demonstrate the talent of a field player in a foreign country. Having played only 9 matches, the Croat returns to his homeland and in 2006 signed a contract with Dynamo.

In the 2006/2007 season, Vukojevic is firmly established in the club's core squad and shows the talents of a professional player, scoring 11 goals in 66 matches.

Brilliantly played season has caused attention to the persona of the midfielder scouts Celtic, Ajax, Bayern and Dynamo Kyiv. The footballer chose the Ukrainian club and signed a five-year contract in 2008. During the contract he played the 2013/2014 season at Spartak Moscow on loan.

In August 2014, it was announced that Ognjen had returned to Dynamo, zagreb. A year later, as a free agent, the midfielder moved to Austria.

Since 2011, Ognen has been regularly called up to the Croatian national team. The player's debut at international level took place in a friendly match with Slovenia, during which Vukojevic scored the first goal for the team.

Horvath twice took to the field in the European Championship 2012, but in the games of the 2014 World Cup the athlete failed to take part. Immediately after the uniform in Brazil, Ognen announced the end of his international career. The Croat decided to leave the field completely in 2017, finally putting an end to Vukojevic's biography as a footballer.

However, the midfielder did not leave the sport and in May 2017 took up the position of manager at Dynamo Kyiv. Vukojevic was involved in managing and selecting players in Eastern and Central Europe.

In 2016, Vukojevic married a compatriot named Andrea. Dark-haired beauty often flashed on the joint photos with the future husband, although, like many famous colleagues, the man tried not to go into the details of his personal life.

It is known that the footballer's chosen one is a former Miss Croatia. However, the girl holds a non-media position - directs the mail at home. The pair have known each other since Vukojevic's contract with Dynamo Kyiv. The young people met in a cafe and have since started to communicate closely, and then the relationship moved to a more serious level. In December 2016, his wife gave birth to her son Luke.

At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Vukojevic was a scout in the coaching staff of the national team. After the team's victory over the players of the Russian national team in a difficult and tense match of the quarter-finals, a scandalous video appeared on the Net.

In the frame, Vukojevic is pictured with his dynamo Kiev teammate, defender Domagoj Vida, shouting the slogan of Ukrainian nationalists "Glory to Ukraine." The recording quickly made available to the public and caused outrage among Russian users and FIFA executives.

After a short trial, Ognen was immediately expelled from the national team and fined by the Football Federation 15,000. Swiss francs, which is about 15,000 euros.

In the interview, Ognen explained that the appeal did not carry political meaning and was addressed to Ukrainian friends. The players did not want to say anything wrong and did not plan to offend anyone. In addition, the scout agreed with the legality of the punishment, regretting the troubles brought by the national team.

Ognen's wife supported her husband and confirmed that she had no intention of insulting or provoking any of the parties to the political conflicts of the world.

In Ukraine, the situation provoked live support, and fans decided to organize a fundraiser. The Ukrainian Football Federation also wanted to pay the fine. The hero of the scandal refused financial assistance, believing that the agreement could cause a new wave of outrage. Moreover, the Croat does not want history to have even a hint of the political views and preferences of the parties.
