*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Miroslav Bičanić (born 29 October 1969) is a Croatian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.[1] He spent his club career in Croatia, Germany, Israel and China and made two appearances for the Croatia national team scoring one goal.

Club career

Bičanić was born in Đakovo. He moved to Bundesliga team MSV Duisburg in 1996, but played only 14 matches (one goal) in the championship and in the German Cup (one goal against Energie Cottbus). In the 1997–98 season, Bičanić played for Hapoel Haifa and reached the third place in the championship. His goal against Maccabi Tel Aviv was "Goal of the Year". After that he returned to Germany, signing with Hansa Rostock. As he played only several matches in the league and one in the cup (where he scored his only goal against Werder Bremen), Bičanić was unhappy with his status and came back to Israel.

He played two months for Hapoel Be'er Sheva and three for Bnei Yehuda before he joined Chongqing Lifan in February 2000. Bičanić won the Chinese FA Cup twice: 2000 with Chongqing Lifan and 2002 with Qingdao Jonoon.

International career

Bičanić made two appearances for the Croatia national team in friendlies against Ukraine (in 1993, one goal) and Hungary (in 1996).[2]

Post-playing career

Today, Bičanić is a FIFA licensed players agent.
