Managerial career
editKalinić worked as an assistant to Ivan Katalinić at Hajduk Split and to Tomislav Ivić in the United Arab Emirates[4] and he successfully managed Bosnian Premier League club Široki Brijeg for one season, winning the 2006−07 Bosnian Cup. After that, he became the new manager of Croatian First Football League club Šibenik,[5] finishing in the 6th place in the 2008–09 Croatian First Football League season.
Hajduk Split
editAfter Široki Brijeg and Šibenik, Kalinić landed the job as Hajduk Split manager after Ante Miše resigned, because of a defeat against Zadar in August 2009.
Kalinić managed only one game for Hajduk and that was the third round of the UEFA Europa League against Žilina on home ground. After Hajduk conceded a goal in the 76th minute of the game, they were losing 1–2 on aggregate. In the late minutes of the game, Kalinić suffered heart problems and was taken to the hospital. He was clinically dead for 20 seconds and reanimated twice.
After recovering, he retired from managing and became sporting director at Hajduk where he remained until his full retirement in 2012.[6]
