Nikica Cukrov (born 6 March 1954) is a Croatian professional football manager and retired player.
He made his debut for Yugoslavia in a November 1977 Balkan Cup friendly match against Greece, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute for Momčilo Vukotić, and earned a total of 14 caps scoring no goals. His final international was an October 1983 friendly match away against Switzerland.[1]
Cukrov was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, which forced him to retire from managing Šibenik. Fortunately he recovered and worked as a scout for football in his county.[2]
