Playing Style
A defensive midfielder who can drop into centre-back or cover at right-back, Jakic gives Augsburg and Croatia a reliable, tactically flexible body across the back and middle, the kind of selfless utility man every tournament squad values. He stands 1.81 m and is right-footed, a steady presence wherever Dalić needs him.
World Cup History
The 2026 finals are not Kristijan Jakic's first senior World Cup but his second. He was part of the squad in 2022, and Dalić keeps the versatile Augsburg man on hand for the group stage, a flexible option who can fill a gap in defence or midfield without weakening the side.
