Playing career
Between 1988 and 1990, Sivić spent two seasons with Bačka Subotica in the Vojvodina League, the fourth tier of Yugoslav football. He would later play for Spartak Subotica during the 1992–93 First League of FR Yugoslavia.
In 1995, Sivić played for HK in Iceland.[1] He subsequently moved to the Faroe Islands, serving as player-manager for several clubs.[2][3]
Managerial career
In January 2005, Sivić was appointed as manager of Smederevo.[4] He resigned from his position in early November after three consecutive losses.[5] In June 2006, Sivić took charge of Voždovac,[6] but left the club after just two months due to poor results early in the season.[7]
On 31 July 2015, Sivić was named as manager of the Serbia under-21s.[8] He managed to qualify the team for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship via the play-offs.[9] However, on 26 December 2016, it was announced that Sivić left his position due to "private reasons",[10] only to take over as manager of Hungarian club Mezőkövesd the following day.[11]
Personal life
Sivić was born to a Bunjevac father and a Hungarian mother in Subotica, SFR Yugoslavia (present-day Serbia). He obtained Hungarian citizenship in 2012.[12]
