Club career

HNK Cibalia Vinkovci

Luka Muzenjak has followed the entire Academy of HNK Cibalia Vinkovci and is promoted from Cibalia Vinkovci U19 to Cibalia's senior side.

The Croatian powerhouse offers balance to his team offensively and defensively and has 102 appearances for HNK Cibalia Vincovci and 20 international caps for Croatia (U16-U19) to his name. He is a talented two footed player with intelligent passing ability as well as being very strong defensively, in and out of possession.

Renowned as a tactical leader, he understands the manager's call-card words [1] to defensive midfielders of "position, stability and control". He is an 'assistant coach on the pitch', interpreting and applying the manager's approach.

In 2013 he seemed to be on the verge to join Italian giants A.S. Roma. [2] He joined BSK Bijelo Brdo in 2019 [3] and hung up his professional boots in summer 2021 and started a restaurant. [4]
