Ivo Trumbić was a Croatian water polo player and coach, born on 2 April 1935 and died on 12 March 2021. Playing for the former Yugoslavia, he won an Olympic silver medal in 1964 and a gold medal in 1968. He later turned to coaching and led the Netherlands men's national team to a bronze medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics, which made him one of the few sportspeople to win Olympic medals in water polo both as a player and as a head coach. He was also national coach of the Netherlands in two periods and a coach and technical director at a club in Amersfoort. He was inducted into the Swimming World International Hall of Fame in 2015, received the Franjo Bučar Lifetime Achievement Award, Croatia's most important sports prize, in 2020, and died at the age of 85.
