Excerpt: Slaven Bili (pronounced; born 11 September 1968) is a former Croatian footballer who manages Russian club FC Lokomotiv Moscow. He started playing in 1988 for his hometown club Hajduk Split and later had successful foreign spells with Karlsruher SC in Germany, and West Ham United and Everton in England before retiring from active football in 2001.
