Mladen Bartulović (born 5 October 1986) is a Croatian professional football manager and former player who is the caretaker manager of Zorya Luhansk. He spent most of his playing career in Ukrainian Premier League representing various clubs from Central Ukraine: Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, Vorskla Poltava, Inhulets Petrove, and others.

Club career

Bartulović made his professional debut for Hajduk Split in 2004. In 2005 he appeared for the first time in continental competitions (UEFA Champions League). While the Hajduk's performance was poor at international stage, Bartulović was noticed by scouts. From 2006 he played in Ukraine.

At first Bartulović was a regular on the Dnipro's first team in 2006–07 season, but following seasons he started to play for the club's reserves and later was loaned to Dnipro's unofficial farm club Kryvbas, for which he capped over 100 games at the Ukrainian Premier League. In 2015–16 he played for Vorskla Poltava.[1]

International career

Bartulović made his debut for Croatia in a February 2006 friendly match against Hong Kong and earned a total of two caps. His second and final international was a November 2009 friendly against Liechtenstein.[2]

Personal life

His wife Natalya is a daughter of the Ukrainian football coach Serhiy Bashkyrov.[3]
