He was married to Bosnian Serb handball player, Svetlana Kitić.
During his time Slišković was considered one of the most technically gifted players of his generation.
In 2011, for the 100th anniversary of Hajduk Split, he was chosen in the "Hajduk Split Best 11 of all-time".[5]
Although most experts expected him to create a great international career, he was only capped 26 times for Yugoslavia. He scored 3 goals in the process. Slišković played two friendly games for Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team in 1993 as the captain in both games.[6]
He managed the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team from 2002 until 2006.[7]
In 2004 he won the award "Best Bosnia-Herzegovina coach" and ˇ"Bosnia-Herzegovina man of the year" by Dnevni Avaz and Max.
In October 2004, he replaced Ivan Katalinić and won the Croatian Championship with Hajduk Split for the 2004-2005 season.
In March 2010 Unirea Alba Iulia hired Slišković until the end of the season; he replaced Adrian Falub.[8]
In April 2011 he took the head coaching position at NK Široki Brijeg and reached 4th position and qualified for UEFA League. He is currently team manager of Al-Ansar.
