Lokomotiv Zagreb coach Ante Cacic has been named the new head coach of Croatia after signing a contract until the 2018 World Cup.
Croatia has turned to Lokomotiv Zagreb head coach Ante Cacic as the man to replace Niko Kovac after the latter was sacked earlier this month.
A 2-0 defeat to Norway on Sept. 6 saw the end of Kovac's reign with the national team despite his side still being firmly in contention for an automatic qualifying spot for Euro 2016.
Cacic was quickly installed as favorite to replace the former international defender, and the 61-year-old has agreed to a deal until the 2018 World Cup.
