Jurica Vučko (born 8 October 1976) is a Croatian former professional footballer who currently serves as an assistant manager of Croatian club Hajduk Split.
Vučko started his professional career with hometown's Hajduk Split, playing five seasons as an important first-team element. Subsequently, he moved to Spain, joining Deportivo Alavés after the Basque side's European exploits. Rarely used, he did net twice for the club, on 8 April 2001, in a 4–2 home triumph over Real Valladolid.
Staying in the country, Vučko spent a further four seasons playing in its second level, for UD Salamanca and Polideportivo Ejido (returning to Alavés in between), before returning to Hajduk in 2006. His return was short-lived however, as he transferred to Chinese League's Tianjin Teda F.C.
Vučko made his debut for the Croatia national football team in a 2000 UEFA European Football Championship qualifying match on 10 October 1998, against Malta. He received a further 3 caps, his final international was a June 2001 World Cup qualification match against San Marino.[1]
He is an older brother of former Croatia international player Luka Vučko.[2]
