Hajduk Split

Having successfully managed NK Šibenik during his two years at the club (Šibenik finished 6th in the league during the 2008-09 season), and even before that Široki Brijeg (winning the 2006−07 Bosnian Cup), Kalinić landed the job as Hajduk Split manager after Ante Miše resigned because of a defeat against NK Zadar in August 2009. Kalinić managed only one game for Hajduk and that was the third round of the UEFA Europa League against MŠK Žilina on home ground. After Hajduk conceded a goal in the 76th minute of the game, they were losing 1-2 on aggregate. In the late minutes of the game, Kalinić suffered heart problems and was taken to the hospital. He was clinically dead for 20 seconds and reanimated twice. After recovering, he retired from managing and became sporting director at Hajduk Split where he remained until his full retirement in 2012.^[4]
