Prosinečki is regarded by many as the player with best technique that ever played in and for Croatia. Former national squad teammate
Zvonimir Boban , humbly, also agreed with this. His dribbling is considered excellent, and his ability to keep possession of the ball is very highly regarded.He is one of the few footballers to have played for both the Spanish rival clubs FC Barcelona and Real Madrid C.F.
Prosinečki became infamously known for being a heavy smoker and rumors about his ability to smoke up to 40 cigarettes a day circulated in Croatian public for some time.
In early 2006, Prosinečki made a short comeback playing for NK Savski Marof, an amateur side based in the village of Savski Marof near Zagreb, in the fourth tier of Croatian football. [ [http://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/redir/303282.aspx Prosinečki će igrati za Savski Marof - Sport - Index.hr] ]
In the summer of 2006, he was recruited as an assistant by Croatia's national team coach
Slaven Bilić , with whom he has been helping plan out strategies for the team.
