#1 Unsuccessful Managerial stints in the Gulf
After his bittersweet Managerial campaign with Croatia, Stimac went on to helm the Croatian Premier League side Zadar. The club was relegated to the second division after a string of poor results and Stimac left.

Stimac went to Iran for a fresh Managerial start after not so good times in his native country. He took charge of the Persian Gulf Pro League side Sepahan in November 2015 but was forced to resign in April 2016 after Sepahan finished 11th in the National League and suffered early exits in the Domestic Cup and the AFC Champions League.
Stimac moved to Qatar and was handed the Managerial role of Qatar Stars League side Al-Shahaniya. He managed to win just one of the eleven games he was in-charge of Shahaniya and was discharged from his job.
Stimac has had a roller-coaster of a ride as a Head Coach after an illustrious playing career. Will the India kob allow him to redeem himself as a Manager? Only time will answer that question.
Stimac now has to lead the Indian Team to the King's Cup in Thailand where they are poised to face Curacao in the opening game. An interesting start indeed.
