Croatia's record goalscorer Davor Suker was re-elected on Monday as head of the country's football federation (HNS) for a further four years.

Suker, 46, took over from long-term president Vlatko Markovic after the latter stepped down in 2012.

Markovic, who headed the HNS since 1998, died last year.

Suker scored 45 goals in 69 international appearances in a distinguished career which included playing for Sevilla, Real Madrid and Arsenal.

Croatian football has been rocked in recent years by financial problems, match-fixing and bribing scandals.

Croatia play the opening match in this year's World Cup finals against hosts Brazil on June 12.
