Perspective
He started as a manager in 2006, with only 19 years. He led the youth team of Dinamo Zagreb in 2014, while later he became the manager of the U17 team.
In 2017, he went to HNK Gorica, where, at first, he served as an assistant manager, but in February 2018, he was named the head coach of the club. Managing Gorica, he won the 2017–18 Croatian Second Football League.[1] In June 2018, he left Gorica and became the assistant manager of Legia Warsaw under the coaching staff of Dean Klafurić.
On 15 June 2019, he was named the new manager of NK Istra 1961, succeeding Igor Cvitanović.[2]
On 15 March 2022, he became manager of Danish Superliga club Vejle Boldklub.[3] He managed the club until 23 September 2024, when he resigned due to a bad start to the season, where Vejle had lost all 10 games.[4]
In June 2025, Prelec returned to Vejle Boldklub as head coach, with the club announcing his reappointment effective 16 June on a two-year contract.[5] On 3 November 2025, with Vejle bottom after taking seven points from 14 league matches, the club ended his tenure; assistants Morten Bisgaard and Steffen Kielstrup were placed in interim charge for the remainder of the autumn programme.[6][7][8]
