Managerial career

Čelik Zenica

After years of being an assistant manager, Hukić became the new manager of Čelik Zenica on 30 October 2013, though only as a caretaker at first, after former manager Vlado Jagodić got sacked.^[1] After making good results, he signed a full-time contract with Čelik on 1 December 2013.^[2] In his first season as the club's manager, Hukić guided Čelik to a decent 7th-place finish in the league and to the 2013–14 Bosnian Cup final in which Čelik lost against Sarajevo in both matches of the final.^[3] In the next season however, things did not look good at the start, and Hukić resigned from his position as manager after a 1–0 home loss against Drina Zvornik on 27 September 2014.^[4]

Personal life

On 19 March 2018, Hukić suffered a heart attack and was rushed to a hospital in Sarajevo where he had a successful surgery in which three stents were built-in his heart.^[5]
