Club career [edit]
Šerić was born to a Croatian family in Sydney, Australia and received a football scholarship to the Australian Institute of Sport. He began his professional football career in Split, Croatia where he played for Hajduk Split.
Verona & Parma [edit]
He then moved to Italy to play in Serie A, initially with Parma. But due to 3+2 non-EU quota, he was loaned to Verona[1] and Adaílton was also signed by Verona from Parma in co-ownership deal.
In 2000, his loan was extended. The quota abolished during the 2000-01 season but Šerić did not earned a return to Parma. In June 2001, team-mate Martin Laursen was bought outright by Parma (Parma already bought half in 2000) and Šerić now co-owned by Verona and Parma, for 2.5 billion lire (€1,291,142).[2][3] Later team-mate striker Alberto Gilardino also bought by Parma in co-ownership deal but loaned back to Verona.
Verona relegated to Serie B in 2002. In June 2002, Šerić was bought outright by Verona, and Gilardino was bought in full by Parma.[4] Šerić did not stayed at Serie B, and was loaned Serie A side Brescia.[5]
In 2003-04 season, he rejoined his former Verona coach (in 1999-2000 season) Cesare Prandelli at Parma, while Florian Myrtaj moved to opposite direction.
In 2004-05 season, he left for Lazio[6] as the club has lost Jaap Stam, Siniša Mihajlović, Giuseppe Favalli and only Fernando Couto, Paolo Negro, Massimo Oddo remained. Lazio also signed defender Sebastiano Siviglia and Óscar López.
Panathinaikos [edit]
In 2005 he left for Panathinaikos to re-joined Alberto Malesani his another coach at Verona (2001-02 season).[7][8]
Hajduk Split [edit]
In June 2008 he moved to the Turkish side Beşiktaş on a free transfer closely followed by a move back to his original side Hajduk Split in January 2009. He was a crucial member of Hajduks defence. He played 11 league games by the end of the 2008/2009 season.
International career [edit]
He made his debut for the Croatian national team in a friendly match against Slovakia on 29 May 1998 in Pula and collected up to this time a total of 16 international caps for the team. In 1998, he was infamously picked for both Australia and Croatia.[9] He opted to play for Croatia, and his decision immediately paid dividends as the nation finished 3rd at France 1998. He has since been a part of the Croatian squad at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups, but did not play any matches at any of these three tournaments.
