Ante Milicic (Croatian: Miličić; born 4 April 1974 in Sydney) is an Australian former football (soccer) player, and current assistant manager of the Socceroos.
He played for a variety of sides in two stints in the National Soccer League. The first stint was played almost entirely for Sydney United, for whom he played as a junior, and which culminated in playing in their runner-up 1996/97 side. After that season he moved to NAC Breda in the Netherlands, and after 2 seasons there went to Croatia's NK Rijeka, where he was the club's top scorer in 2000/01 with 10 goals. On his return to the NSL in season 2001/02, he rejoined Sydney United for a brief stay, before moving to city rival Sydney Olympic during the same season. He would spend the rest of the season and the next playing there, including scoring the only goal of the 2001/02 Grand Final against Perth Glory. In the final he was awarded the Joe Marston Medal, delivering Sydney Olympic their second NSL title, as well as playing in the runner up side the following season against Perth Glory.
In the 2003–04 season, the NSL's last, Miličić moved, this time to Parramatta Power, where he would again experience Grand Final defeat against the Perth Glory. After the NSL was disbanded, Miličić played in the Malaysian League for Pahang. It was widely felt that with the $1.5 million salary caps imposed on all Hyundai A-League clubs, Miličić would not be able to be brought back to Australia. However, he joined the Newcastle United Jets, who finished 4th on the Hyundai A-League ladder in 2005/2006, also joining close friends Labinot Haliti, Ned Zelic.
