Zoran Vulić (born 4 October 1961) is a Croatian retired footballer who played as a central defender and football manager.
Vulić was born in Split, Croatia, Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. He was the son of Ante Vulić, a famous goalkeeper for HNK Hajduk Split in the 1950s. Zoran Vulić joined Hajduk Split and the stopper with a powerful shot played nine seasons in his first spell, amassing 167 league games with 25 goals. He then had successful abroad stints with RCD Mallorca (Spain) and FC Nantes (France) in the following five years, being instrumental for the former in a La Liga return in his debut season – 35 matches, five goals – and scoring more than ten times overall with both clubs.
Vulić returned to Hajduk in 1993, retiring after two years at the age of 34. With the club he conquered two Yugoslavian cups in 1984 and 1987, two Croatian leagues (1994, 1995) and one cup (1995).
Vulić won 25 caps for Yugoslavia netting once, and participated at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, appearing in four out of five matches (two starts) for the eventual quarterfinalists. His debut was on 30 April 1986 in a 2–4 friendly loss in Brazil.
