Vladimir Petković (Croatian pronunciation: [ʋlǎdimiːr pêtkoʋit͡ɕ]; born 15 August 1963) is a Swiss football manager and former professional player who played as a midfielder. He is currently head coach of Switzerland national football team, having previously managed a string of Swiss clubs as well as Italian side Lazio.
Petković was born in Sarajevo in 1963. He is naturalized Swiss of Bosnian Croat descent. and holds Swiss, Croatian, and Bosnian passports. Both of his parents worked as educational workers so they changed many schools and because of that family moved frequently. First they lived in Vrelo Bosne and then, from when he was 5 years old, in Hadžići near Sarajevo.
A midfielder with good technique, Petković started playing football in Ilidža as an eleven-year-old before joining the youth sector of his hometown side FK Sarajevo youth as a fifteen-year-old.
He remained at FK Sarajevo and began his professional career there in the early 1980s. Petković made only a handful of appearances in a strong Sarajevo side led on the pitch by Bosnia's greatest ever player, Safet Sušić. Petković was a part of the Sarajevo side that won the 1984–85 Yugoslav First League, making only two league appearances for them. His time at Sarajevo was interrupted by two brief stints elsewhere, first a successful time with Rudar Prijedor, where Petković found a vein of scoring form, and then a season in the Yugoslav Second League with Slovenian side Koper, who finished last and were relegated.
