He began his career at Hajduk Split, before moving to Shakhtar in 2003. He has won numerous trophies during his time at Shakhtar, including a UEFA Cup title in 2009, seven Ukrainian Premier League titles, five Ukrainian Cup titles and five Ukrainian Super Cup titles. He left Shakhtar in 2018 and signed one-year contract with Cagliari and then returned to Shakhtar to work as an assistant manager.

Srna made his international debut for Croatia in November 2002 and is the second most capped player in the history of the Croatia national team with 134 caps, having represented his country at the 2006 and 2014 FIFA World Cups, as well as at UEFA Euro 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016. In 2009, then manager Slaven Bilić made him the captain of the national team, a position he would hold until his retirement from international football in 2016; the captaincy then passed to Luka Modrić.

He is the most capped player in the history of Shakhtar with 536 appearances.[7] He was popularly dubbed the "Icon of Shakhtar".[8][9] Srna's consistent quality and playing style earned comparisons to Cafu.[10]

Club career edit

Hajduk Split edit

Srna's talent was seen by many scouts in Croatia while he was young. He was later signed by Hajduk Split as his talent became desirable for the Croatian giants.[11] At Hajduk, he won the 1999–2000 and 2002–03 Croatian Cup, as well as the 2000–01 Prva HNL. The club played in the first round of 1999–2000 UEFA Cup, 2001–02 UEFA Cup, 2002–03 UEFA Cup, as well as the second round of the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League and the third round of the 2001–02 UEFA Champions League. He made 84 appearances for the club, including 64 league appearances, and scored eight goals, four of which came in the league, before moving to Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk.

Shakhtar Donetsk edit

In 2003, Srna was sold, along with Hajduk goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa, to Shakhtar Donetsk.[12] He is a common member and the captain in his club side, for whom he has made a large impact in the league. In his first season with the club, he made 29 appearances, including 19 in the league, scoring three goals, all of which came in the Ukrainian Cup. He helped the club to win the Ukrainian Cup, his first honour with the club, and to a second-place finish in the Premier League.[13]

His third season saw Shakhtar retain the Premier League title.[15] He made 21 league appearances, scoring twice. After the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Benfica were reported to be after the player's signature but nothing materialized, with what many considered a fallen or rejected sale. Since then, he had been linked with a number of other clubs, including Lazio, but a move never materialized.

The following season, Shakhtar were trumped to the Premier League title by Dynamo Kyiv as they failed to achieve any silverware.[16] Darijo made 35 appearances for the club, 20 in the league, and scored four times, three of which came in the league.

After a 1–1 away draw in the first leg,[24] Shakhtar won 2–1 at the Donbass Arena for a 3–2 aggregate win to progress to the final.[25] Darijo played the full 90 minutes of both legs. On 20 May 2009, he captained Shakhtar in the 2–1 victory over Werder Bremen in the UEFA Cup Final.[26] Srna provided the assist for Jádson's winning goal seven minutes into extra time. He also picked up a yellow card. This was the last UEFA Cup before its rebranding as the UEFA Europa League.

Doping case edit

Cagliari Calcio edit

On 22 June 2018 Srna, signed one-year deal with Italian side Cagliari Calcio with an option to extend it for another year.[68] In June 2019, the contract ended and Srna left the club.

Return to Donetsk edit

In July 2019, Srna returned to Shakhtar Shakhtar Donetsk as an assistant manager on a one-year contract until 2020.[69] He then moved on to the Director of football role.

International career edit

Euro 2004 edit

Srna made his full international debut for the Croatia national team in a friendly match against Romania in November 2002. He went on to score his first international goal on his competitive debut for Croatia in their UEFA Euro 2004 qualifier against Belgium in March 2003, netting the opening goal in Croatia's 4–0 win. He made a total of six appearances in Croatia's qualifying campaign for Euro 2004, including both play-off matches against Slovenia.

At the Euro 2004 finals, he appeared as a substitute in Croatia's group matches against Switzerland and England, before they were knocked out of the tournament in the first round.[12]

2006 World Cup edit

After Euro 2004, Srna went on to become one of the key players in Croatia's 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, scoring five goals in nine appearances during the campaign and being the team's top goalscorer in the competition. During the 2006 World Cup qualifying, he scored both goals in Croatia's two 1–0 wins over Sweden, including a long-range free kick in the away fixture in Gothenburg. He also netted both goals in Croatia's 2–2 home draw against Bulgaria, as well as one goal in their 3–1 away win at Iceland.

Srna then starred in all three games of Croatia's 2006 World Cup campaign. He was highly praised and remembered for his spectacular 30-yard free kick which put Croatia ahead against Australia in the infamous "Graham Poll three-yellow card" blunder match that ended 2–2. However, in previous group match against Japan he missed a penalty in a 0–0 draw and Croatia finished third in the group stage with only 2 points.

Euro 2008 edit

In September 2006, Srna was temporarily dropped from the Croatian squad for a Euro 2008 qualifying match with Russia because of a late night partying spree in a local disco, along with teammates Boško Balaban and Ivica Olić.[70]

Srna was considered the hero of the match, when he came on as a substitute against Macedonia in a Euro 2008 qualifying match and scored shortly after from a free-kick, which was shot into the right corner of the goal.[71] In the 88th minute, he provided a cross which found teammate Eduardo, and allowed him to score and snatch a late win for Croatia. He also scored Croatia's equaliser in their hard-fought away victory against Israel, which eventually ended 4–3 in Croatia's favour. Srna went on to miss a penalty against Estonia, however his overall contribution to teamwork attack compensated for this mistake, which Croatia quickly capitalised on to win 2–0.

Since helping his country qualify for Euro 2008 with a strong qualifying campaign, Srna was unsurprisingly named in their 23-man squad for the current tournament. On 12 June, Srna scored the opening goal in the 24th minute of Croatia's 2–1 victory over Germany in their second game of Group B. He was the only player to score for Croatia in their unsuccessful penalty shootout in the quarter-finals against Turkey. At the conclusion of the match, Srna was seen struggling to hold back an emotional breakdown because of Croatia's strong efforts but eventual defeat.

Euro 2012 edit

After Euro 2008, Srna succeeded Niko Kovač as national team captain.[72][73]

Srna started in all three games of the 2012 tournament as the captain, where Croatia finished third behind Spain and Italy, failing to qualify to the next stage. Italy and Spain went on to become the finalists of the tournament.

2014 World Cup edit

On 6 February 2013, Srna won his 100th cap in a friendly match against South Korea at Craven Cottage, London, thereby equalling Dario Šimić as Croatia's most capped player. In that match, Srna also scored his 20th international goal.[74]

Croatia qualified for the 2014 World Cup, where Srna served as team captain for his second official international tournament, after Euro 2012.[75] Croatia finished third in the group behind Brazil and Mexico and therefore failed to qualify for the next stage.

Euro 2016 edit

At Euro 2016 in France, Srna, once again as team captain, played in Croatia's first group stage match against Turkey. Shortly after the match, however, he returned to Croatia upon the news of his father's death during the match. He returned to France to finish the tournament afterwards, to abide by his father's dying wish.[76] Croatia reached the knock-out phase of the tournament, but lost 1–0 to Portugal through an extra-time Ricardo Quaresma goal.

Srna amassed 134 caps and 22 goals for Croatia, which made him the country's most capped player at the time of his retirement.[77] He held this record for over eight years, until it was overtaken by Luka Modrić in 2021.[78]

Personal life edit

Srna was born in Metković[79] on Adriatic coast of southern Dalmatia to Bosniak father Uzeir and Croat mother Milka. His father, a World War II orphan and a former footballer for FK Sarajevo, supported his fledgling football career despite discrimination during the Yugoslav Wars and widespread corruption among football coaches.[80] Before leaving Croatia to join for Shakhtar Donetsk, he gave his parents a brand new Mercedes.[81] He has a tattoo of a deer playing football on his leg, as "Srna" in Croatian means "deer".[82] Srna has also helped Bosnian club Borac Šamac, where his father played as goalkeeper and was also a coach.[83]

Srna has a half-brother, Renato, a coach at Neretva, from their father's first marriage.[82] His other brother Igor has Down syndrome. As a result, Srna dedicates all his goals to him,[82] and even revealed a shirt under his jersey saying "Igor, svi smo uz tebe" ("Igor, we are all here for you") after scoring a goal against North Macedonia in international play. He also has a tattoo reading "Igor" along his heart.[72]

While at Shakhtar, Srna frequently bought match tickets for orphans and often financed their travel to the stadium at his own expense.[72][84][85] In late 2014, he purchased 20 tonnes of tangerines from farms near Metković and had them donated to over 23,000 primary school children in the Donbas region during the ongoing war there.[86]Srna married long-time girlfriend Mirela Forić, whom he met through mutual friend and footballer Boško Balaban.[87][88] Their daughter Kasja was born in July 2010 and their son Karlo was born in June 2015.[89][90]
