Drago Vabec


Dragutin Vabec, most commonly known as Drago Vabec is a Croatian left winger who played for SFR Yugoslavia, Dinamo Zagreb and Stade Brestois. He is considered as one of the best players in Dinamo Zagreb history and the best player in Stade Brestois history. His family originates from Čakovec, Međimurje County, and he spent most of his time there.
While playing for Yugoslavia during a match against Sweden on 10 October 1975 he scored a fantastic goal, which was for years screened at the beginning of the sports program.
In October 2006, he was appointed head coach at relegation-threatened Croatian second division side NK Čakovec. He remained at the position until the end of the season, but failed to save the club from relegation.
