*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
His professional career spanned over two decades. During this time Rendulić mainly played with the clubs in the Croatian First League, with a two-year stint in the Slovenian PrvaLiga. In total he collected over 450 appearances during his career; 368 in Croatian top flight which puts him in top 5 of most appearances in the Croatian First League. Rendulić finished his professional career at the end of the 2013–14 season, starting his work as manager.
During the stints with Hajduk Split, Rijeka and Interblock Rendulić won the 2000–01 Croatian First League, 2005–06 Croatian Cup, 2007–08 and 2008–09 Slovenian Cups, and the 2008 Slovenian Supercup.
Rendulić started his managerial career in 2014 as an assistant coach under manager Dragan Skočić at Foolad. They left club in 2016, while in 2017 Rendulić started to work as assistant coach under the coaching staff of Luka Bonačić at Al-Arabi.
On 28 October 2018, Rendulić was appointed head coach of Prva HNL club Istra 1961, replacing coach Curro Torres at that position.[1] On 4 March 2019, following the series of poor performance–seven defeats in eleven games–he terminated the contract with Istra.[2]
On 20 June 2019, Rendulić was appointed head coach of Druga HNL club Šibenik where he played for two years during his club career.[3][4][5]
He made his debut as Šibenik head coach in a 3–2 home victory against Hajduk Split II.[6] On 25 September, Šibenik qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2019–20 national cup defeating Slavonija Požega 5–1.[7] On 3 December, Šibenik lost 4–0 to Lokomotiva at home in the cup quarter-finals.[8]
On 20 May 2020, the Croatian Football Federation canceled the 2019–20 Druga HNL season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and Šibenik was promoted to the highest tier of Croatian football after eight years of playing in the third and second divisions.[9][10]
A series of four defeats and two draws in six games during the forty days-period in the league, resulted in the dismissal of Rendulić on 23 March 2021.[11]
On 30 May 2021 Rendulić was appointed manager of HNK Gorica, replacing Siniša Oreščanin who was sacked.[12]
