Playing career
Born in Žepče,[2] Zovko started his senior career playing in his hometown Yugoslav First League club Hajduk Split where he won the 1978–79 national Championship. In 1980, he moved to another top league club, Vojvodina where he played most of his career, becoming the team captain and, there too, winning the national title, in the 1988–89 season. In nine years there, between official and other, he played 461 matches, scoring 132 goals,[3] as a defender.
In October 1988 (1988–1989 season) he decided to move abroad, joining to Belgian First Division club Lierse where he stayed until 1991. He made 63 appearances there scoring 9 goals.[4]
He played for Yugoslavia under-21 national team.[1]

After finishing his playing career, Zovko became a football manager,[1] coaching many clubs mainly in the Croatian and Bosnian top leagues. His first job was at Marsonia, where he replaced Stjepan Deverić in August 2000.[5]
He was named manager of Marsonia again in February 2012, succeeding Miroslav Buljan.[6]
