Vatroslav Mihačić (born 30 September 1967) is a retired Croatian football player. He played as goalkeeper for Hajduk Split, Neretva and NK Zagreb in Croatia, and had a four-year spell at Portuguese side Gil Vicente.
He played for Hajduk in the 1990–91 Yugoslav First League, the last season before Croatian clubs decided to leave the league to form 1. HNL, and in the 1991 Yugoslav Cup Final in which Hajduk beat the reigning champions of Europe Red Star Belgrade 1–0 to lift the trophy, alongside club stars such as Igor Štimac, Slaven Bilić, Alen Bokšić and Robert Jarni.[1]
With Hajduk he went on to win two Croatian league titles (1992 and 1994) and the 1993 Croatian Cup. After spending the 1994–95 season at NK Neretva he moved to Gil Vicente in Portugal, with whom he won the Liga de Honra in 1999. That same year he returned to Croatia and spent two seasons playing for NK Zagreb before retiring in 2001.
After retiring from football he worked as coaching assistant to Croatia national team managers Otto Barić in 2004 and Zlatko Kranjčar in 2006 and became director of the Croatian Football Federation coaching academy.[2][3][4]
