Career

edit

Petrović joined Japanese club Sanfrecce Hiroshima in June 2006. In his first full season in charge, Sanfrecce reached the final of the Emperor's Cup but were relegated to J2. The side recovered in style, storming to the title with a haul of 100 points. Their excellent form continued into the next season and Sanfrecce secured a 4th-placed finish on their return to J1, qualifying for the AFC Champions League for the first time in the club's history. It was announced on 9 November 2011 that Petrović would not be renewing his contract for the 2012 season.[2]

On 14 December 2011, Petrović was appointed to guide the Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds with a two-year contract. After 5+12 seasons in charge of the Saitama outfit, he was sacked on 31 July 2017.[3]

On 10 January 2018, he was appointed manager of Hokkaido club Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.[4]

On 24 October 2020, Petrović became the first foreign manager to achieve 200 wins in J1.[5]

On 4 March 2023, Petrović managed his 525th game in J1, breaking Akira Nishino's record for most games coached in J1 League history.[6]

On 4 December 2024, it was announced Petrović would leave Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, after 7 seasons, following the team's relegation from J1 League. His last match in charge of Sapporo was a 1–0 victory over Kashiwa Reysol.[7]
