After retirement

Since retiring from football, Boban has completed his history degree at the University of Zagreb. He also started a career in sports journalism, being the administration president for the Croatian daily sports newspaper "Sportske novosti", a co-commentator during live broadcasts of the Croatian national team's matches on the country's commercially-funded national TV station RTL Televizija as well as a commentator for the Italian SKY Italia and columnist for "La Gazzetta dello Sport".

Reputation

Boban is much loved in Croatia, ever since he made headlines by kicking a Yugoslav policeman. He is known for his patriotism, stating he loves Croatia more than anything, and that he would die for his country. He has also said that although he always played fairly for Yugoslavia, playing for Croatia and hearing the Croatian national anthem was always his dream. Respect for Boban during and after the war was very high, and still continued to this day.
