Club career
He played professionally for quite a few teams, most notably for Dinamo Zagreb with which he was part of the national championship victory in 1995–1996 and Brescia (Italy). Certain choices he made in his professional career were interesting, at one point he quit playing because of religious reasons (he was a member of the Hare Krishna religion) stating money being the root of evil and that he was content with what he had. This was a shock to his employer at the time, the professional Italian team Brescia. Kovačić did return to professional soccer briefly in 2001, but quit again in 2005 due to family reasons.Death
