Former Croatian captain Niko Kovac has signed on for another two years with his club Red Bull Salzburg, but in a new capacity as coach of the youth team, the club announced Tuesday.
The 37-year-old former midfielder was to begin training the youth team of the Austrian league champions immediately, Red Bull Salzburg said on its website.
Kovac announced his retirement as a player on May 29 after already quitting the national side in January, having won 83 caps and scoring 15 goals between 1996 and 2008.
He will play his last game in a friendly match against his former team Bayern Munich on July 10 in Salzburg.
