Born in General Baldissera but raised in Cruz Alta, Vojvoda joined Newell's Old Boys' youth setup at the age of 14.[1] He made his senior debut with the main squad in 1995, and went on to feature regularly in the following seven seasons, never establishing himself as a regular starter.
In 2002 Vojvoda moved abroad, after signing for Segunda División side SD Compostela on loan for one year.[2] He stayed in the country for the following six seasons, representing Algeciras CF,[3] Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa[4] and CD Baza.[5]
Vojvoda returned to his home country on 15 July 2009, joining Tiro Federal of the Primera B Nacional.[6] He subsequently played for Sportivo Belgrano[7] and Sarmiento de Leones,[8] retiring with the latter in 2013 at the age of 38.
Shortly after retiring Vojvoda took up coaching, being in charge of the youth categories of his first club Newell's. On 10 July 2015, he was named manager of the club's reserve side.[9] He was also an interim manager of the first team for two occasions: in 2016[10] and in 2017.[11]
On 7 October 2017, Vojvoda was named manager of Defensa y Justicia.[12] The following 28 May, he was named at the helm of Talleres de Córdoba.[13]
In May 2019, Vojvoda was appointed manager of Club Atlético Huracán for the 2019–20 season.[14] Sacked on 16 September, he took over Chilean Primera División side Unión La Calera on 30 December.[15]
Vojvoda led La Calera to the second position of the 2020 Chilean Primera División, qualifying the club to the Copa Libertadores for the first time in their history. On 18 February 2021, he left on a mutual agreement.[16]
On 4 May 2021, Vojvoda was appointed manager of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Fortaleza.[17]
Born in Argentina, Vojvoda is of Croatian and Italian descent, and holds an Italian passport.[18][19]
