Nick Robert Dasovic (born December 5, 1968) is a Canadian former professional soccer player who played as a midfielder. He is currently an assistant coach for Detroit City FC.
He began his career with Croatian club HNK Segesta in 1988, followed by short stints at NK Dinamo Zagreb and NK Zagreb. He moved back to his homeland in 1991, playing first for North York Rockets, then the newly formed Montreal Impact in 1993. In 1995, he joined Vancouver 86ers before returning to Europe briefly to play for Stade Briochin. Another period with Vancouver 86ers in 1996 was followed by a short stint in Sweden with Trelleborgs FF. He finished his playing career with Scottish club St Johnstone, with whom he spent six years and made over 100 league appearances. He won promotion to the Scottish top flight in his first season in Perth.
Dasovic represented the Canada men's national soccer team on 63 occasions between 1992 and 2004, scoring twice.
His coaching career began with Whitecaps FC Reserves in 2006. He became manager of TFC Academy in 2008, a role he balanced briefly with a stint as manager of the Canada under-23s. In 2010, he was named interim manager of Toronto FC. The following year, he was installed as manager of the Canada under-20s, a role in which he remained for two years.
In 2019, he re-joined the Vancouver Whitecaps FC organization, first with the Vancouver Whitecaps U23 team, and then again as manager of the Whitecaps FC Academy U-19s.
