About Miun Jovani
- Micun Jovanic (29 July 1952 – 26 July 2010) was a Croatian footballer best known for his 12-year spell with Hajduk Split, where he played between 1969 and 1981.
- Later in his career Jovanic also played for Belgian side Anderlecht and lower level sides AS Béziers in France and Solin in Croatia.He was one of the most consistent members of Hajduk's golden generation which dominated Yugoslav football in the 1970s and won four Yugoslav First League championships and five Yugoslav Cup titles.
- Because of this, Jovanic is one of the three most decorated Hajduk players in the history of the club (along with Dražen Mužinic and Luka Peruzovic).Unlike many of his teammates from that era who went on to become regular Yugoslav internationals (such as Jurica Jerkovic, Ivica Šurjak, Slaviša Žungul and Dražen Mužinic), Jovanic was never capped for the national team, although he did appear 4 times for Yugoslavia at youth levels.
- Throughout his career Jovanic had appeared in 210 league matches and scored 27 league goals for Hajduk.After retiring from playing in 1985 Jovanic had several managing spells at lower level Croatian sides, including a 1991 spell with RNK Split and two spells at Segesta.
- In early July 2010 the Croatian media reported that Jovanic had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and that a fundraising campaign was launched to raise some 20,000 euros for his treatment abroad.
- In spite of the successful fundraiser, Jovanic died on the night between 25 and 26 July 2010 at his home in Kaštel Gomilica near Split.
