Diego Živulić (Croatian pronunciation: [ʒǐʋulitɕ]; born 23 March 1992) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Romanian Liga I club Oțelul Galați.[2]

Career

Živulić started training at his local club Novigrad, before moving on to nearby Jadran Poreč. At the age of 16, he was snapped up by the first-tier club Rijeka.[3] After being voted the best player of the Kvarnerska Rivijera tournament, he was sent on loan to the third-tier side Orijent in 2010, and later to the second-tier club Pomorac.[4] At the same time, he also became a Croatian youth international, amassing 20 caps overall for the Croatia U18 and Croatia U19 teams.

In his first professional season, 2011–12, Živulić collected nine caps for Rijeka. In mid-2012, Rijeka loaned Živulić to Pomorac again, where he would remain until the end of his contract with the club, in 2014. That summer, he moved abroad, to the Czech second-tier club Zlín, with whom he achieved promotion to the Czech First League the following summer.[5]

On 1 August 2019, Živulić joined Polish club Śląsk Wrocław.[6]

Živulić studied at the Faculty of Economy at the University of Rijeka.[7]
