Marino Pušić (born 18 August 1971) is a Croatian retired footballer. He will join Feyenoord as assistant manager in the season 2021-2022. He got fired as assistant manager of AZ Alkmaar because of this announcement.
As a player, Pušić played for De Graafschap, VV Rheden, 1. FC Köln II, and KAS Eupen.[1] As a player and a manager he also was active in futsal.[2] Pusic was a trainer in the Vitesse/AGOVV Football Academy and assistant-manager with NAC Breda, Inter Baku en FC Twente.[3]
On 18 October 2017, he was appointed interim manager at FC Twente after his predecessor René Hake was forced to leave.[4] On 29 October 2017, Gertjan Verbeek was presented as the new manager, after which Pušić fell back in his role as assistant manager. On 26 March 2018, he was promoted to the interim manager position again, as Verbeek was fired.[5] As interim head coach, Pušić failed to save FC Twente's season and finished last in the Eredivisie,[6] thus relegating to the Eerste Divisie. As of the 2018–19 season, Pušić was promoted to head coach.
After finishing in first place and becoming the champions of the Eerste Divisie, and thus securing promotion back to the Eredivisie, Pušić was sacked on 7 May 2019.[7] He was then recruited to become the assistant manager for AZ Alkmaar in May 2019.[8]
In january 2021, Feyenoord announced to have signed Pusic as assistant-manager, starting in the summer of 2021. As manager Arne Slot was previously sent away by AZ Alkmaar for negotiating with Feyenoord, Pusic was sent away by AZ Alkmaar as well.[9]
