About Miljenko Kovačić
- Miljenko Kovacic (19 March 1973 – 20 August 2005) was a Croatian soccer player.
- His nickname was "The Son of the Wind".
- He played professionally for quite a few teams, most notably for Dinamo Zagreb with which he was part of the national championship victory in 1995–1996 and Brescia (Italy).
- Certain choices he made in his professional career were interesting, at one point he quit playing because of religious reasons (he was a member of the Hare Krishna religion) stating money being the root of evil and that he was content with what he had.
- This was a shock to his employer at the time, the professional Italian team Brescia.
- Kovacic did return to professional soccer briefly in 2001, but quit again in 2005 due to family reasons.
- He lost his life in a motorcycle accident in 2005.
