Playing career

During his career he played for Rijeka, Zadar, Dinamo Zagreb[1] and Hajduk Split in Croatia, CD Castellón in Spain, SV Austria Salzburg in Austria, and with Gamba Osaka in Japanese J.League. Known for his explosive shooting, Mladenović scored a total of 115 goals in 374 league games.[2] When at Rijeka, he severely injured Hajduk's debutant player Nenad Gračan in 1986, breaking Gračan's leg.[3]

International

He made his debut for Croatia in an October 1990 friendly match against the United States, coming on as a 58th-minute substitute for Aljoša Asanović, and earned a total of 19 caps, scoring 3 goals.

Managerial career

Following his retirement from playing professional football, Mladenović started a career as a referee, as well as a manager. Since 2002, he managed NK Žminj, Rijeka, NK Halubjan, NK Cres and Orijent.
