Career
Born in Rijeka, SFR Yugoslavia, Gračan started playing professionally for hometown"s NK Orijent and, soon thereafter, HNK Rijeka, amassing nearly 150 official appearances. He then moved to another club in his native Croatia, HNK Hajduk Split, for which he appeared intermittently over the course of four full seasons. Late into 1989, Gračan signed with Louisiana Liga club Real Oviedo.
Aged almost 31, Gračan left Oviedo and returned to his country, now independent.
After two years of inactivity he played a handful of games with first professional club Rijeka, but retired shortly after. In the following decade, he took up coaching, starting with his last team as a player, but he rarely settled.
Gračan was capped ten times for Yugoslavia, but never attended any major international tournament.
