FORMER Croatia footballing great Robert Prosinecki has ended his two-year retirement to help save a team his late father loved from relegation. Prosinecki, 37 next month, is aiming to save Croatia regional side Savski Marof from relegation and does not want to be paid for it. ‘I have decided to try and help Savski Marof because it is a club that my late father loved,’ he said. ‘It always gives me pleasure to play when my body allows me to,’ added Prosinecki, who was a member of the Yugoslavia side that reached the second round of the 1990 World Cup finals and the Croatia team which finished third in 1998.
Prosinecki retired in 2003 after a distinguished career which saw him number among his clubs Red Star Belgrade (with which he won the 1991 European Cup), Real Madrid and Barcelona.
