Rudeš spent the following decades in lower-tier leagues within Yugoslavia and later Croatia. In 2006 the club struggled with financial difficulties and was on the verge of bankruptcy. With new management, supported by young enthusiasts, football fans of GNK Dinamo and Mladen Miholić, the club overcame its problems.
