Pletikosa's career is defined by consistency and longevity. He earned 114 caps for Croatia, ranking fourth all-time, and was a key figure in their qualification for multiple major tournaments. His three league titles with Shakhtar Donetsk helped cement the club's dominance in Ukraine during the mid-2000s. He was the first Croatian goalkeeper to play in the Premier League, a testament to his adaptability. His post-retirement role as Technical Director shows his commitment to giving back to the game, and he is widely respected as a leader in Croatian football.

AwardsPletikosa's trophy cabinet is filled with team honors rather than individual awards. He won three Ukrainian Premier League titles and two Ukrainian Cups with Shakhtar Donetsk, and was a runner-up in the Russian Cup and FA Cup. He also received the Golden Badge from the Croatian Football Federation for his contributions to the national team, and was inducted into the HNS Hall of Fame upon his retirement.
