Ivan Jurić (born August 25, 1975 in Split) is a Croatian footballer who currently plays for Italian side Genoa C.F.C.. He made his international debut for Croatia in a friendly match against Romania on February 11. He is a versatile and technically skilled midfielder or winger.
He moved in Italy in 2001, joining Serie B outfit Crotone, and then moved to Genoa in 2006, following his mentor Gian Piero Gasperini, his former head coach at Crotone. Since then, he established himself as a fan favourite, being protagonist of the rossoblu's return to the Serie A, and then being appointed vice-captain for the team.
