Fausto Budicin (born 1 May 1981) is a Croatian professional football manager and former player who was most recently manager of Croatian First Football League club Rijeka

Managerial career

On 27 March 2019, Budicin was appointed new manager at Croatian Third Football League club Orijent 1919.[1] His first success at Orijent bench came at the end of the season; Orijent gained promotion to the second-tier Druga HNL finishing third in the 2018–19 Treća HNL West season.[2]

In the club's inaugural second league season, Budicin led the squad to finishing in third at the league table in March 2020, when the championship was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia. NK Croatia Zmijavci, that finished in second in the league championship, did not ask for a license to play in the First League, so Orijent took their place in the relegation play-offs for a higher tier, in which Istra 1961 was more successful.[3]

After Orijent failed to gain promotion to the first tier, Budicin was named head coach of Istra 1961 on 26 August 2020, succeeding Ivan Prelec, whose contract expired and was not renewed.[4] However he has been sacked on 11 February 2021.[5] Budicin was named manager of Rijeka in June 2022,[6] only to be replaced by Serse Cosmi after two months.[7]
