à ½elimir Terkeà ¡ (born 8 January 1981) is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian retired football striker who last played for Zadar. He previously played for NK Zadar, NK Zagreb, HNK ÃÂapljina, Hà  K Zrinjski Mostar, NK Inter Zapreà ¡iÃÂ, Chongqing Lifan and Perak FA.
Terkeà ¡ started his career in the youth ranks of his hometown club HNK ÃÂapljina before moving the youth ranks of the Croatian club NK Zagreb. Unable to win a place in the first team, he returned to his home country, and after playing a year and a half for Zrinjski Mostar and featuring in the Bosnia and Herzegovina U-21 team, he secured a transfer back to Prva HNL, signing for NK Inter Zapreà ¡iÃÂ. Unable to get into a scoring form, he moved in the summer of 2004 to NK Zadar, but was relegated at the end of the season. Impressing in the Druga HNL, he helped his club get back to the top flight after two seasons. The 2007âÂÂ2008 season was his most impressive by far. He was the top scorer of the league in the end with 21 goals, three goals ahead of the Rijeka's Radomir ÃÂaloviàand four ahead of the Hajduk Split player Nikola KaliniÃÂ, also accumulating 7 assists, having a run of ten goals and three assists in six games (rounds 24âÂÂ29) as well. He remained in Zadar, however, but after having surgery, he struggled to regain his previous form. Somewhat plagued by injuries, he scored 14 goals in 66 games in the next two and a half seasons. In March 2011, he secured a transfer to the China League One side Chongqing Lifan and in his last match for NK Zadar before that, a 1âÂÂ0 home win against NK Lokomotiva, he scored the winning goal. He signed for Malaysia Super League side Perak FA in December 2013 after a successful trial.
On 28 February 2014, Terkeà ¡ joined Indonesia Super League team Persija Jakarta for one season contract.
His games secured him interest from foreign clubs and got him a call-up for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team, for which he made his debut on 1 June 2008 in the 1âÂÂ0 friendly win against Azerbaijan. It remained his sole international appearance.
He was named manager of HNK Zadar in January 2021, succeeding Josip ButiÃÂ.
