Where is Alen Boksic now?
Former Middlesbrough striker Alen Boksic retired from playing in 2003 at the age of just 33 after an injury-ravaged time at the Riverside.
Starting his professional career in 1987 with Hadjuk Split, he went onto make 429 first-team appearances over a 16-year period for six sides including Marseille where he won the UEFA Champions League and in Italy where he won Serie A titles with both Juventus and Lazio.
It was a surprise to many when he signed for Middlesbrough and a major coup for the club but he justified his price and wages and won the supporter’s player of the year award for the season 2000-01.
On the international stage he played for the Croatia national side on 40 occasions and was part of the squad which competed in the 1996 UEFA European Championships as well as the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals.
Upon retiring from playing he returned to Croatia and spent time as assistant manager of the national side between 2012 and 2013 but hasn’t coached anywhere else since.
