During this time he mainly played with the clubs in the Croatian First League, with a two-year stint in the Slovenian PrvaLiga with Interblock. In total Rendulić collected over 450 appearances during his career; 368 in the Croatian top flight which puts him in top 5 of most appearances in the Croatian First League.

Rendulić started his managerial career in 2014 as an assistant coach under manager Dragan Skočić at Iranian side Foolad. They left club in 2016, while in 2017 Rendulić started to work as assistant coach under the coaching staff of Luka Bonačić at Qatari club Al-Arabi.
Istra 1961
On 28 October 2018, Rendulić was appointed manager of Prva HNL club Istra 1961, replacing Curro Torres.[1] On 4 March 2019, following a series of poor results, Rendulić terminated his contract with Istra.[2]
Šibenik
On 20 June 2019, Rendulić became manager of Druga HNL club Šibenik where he played for two years during his club career.[3][4][5]
He made his debut as Šibenik manager in a 3–2 home victory against Hajduk Split II.[6] On 25 September, Šibenik qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2019–20 Croatian Cup defeating Slavonija Požega.[7] On 3 December, Šibenik lost 4–0 to Lokomotiva at home in the cup quarter-finals.[8]
On 20 May 2020, the Croatian Football Federation canceled the 2019–20 Druga HNL season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and Šibenik was promoted to the highest tier of Croatian football after eight years of playing in the third and second divisions.[9][10]
A series of four defeats and two draws in six games during the forty days-period in the league, resulted in the dismissal of Rendulić on 23 March 2021.[11]
Gorica
On 30 May 2021, Rendulić joined Gorica as manager.[12] Despite a good start to the 2021–22 season, Rendulić got sacked after poor results in the latter part of the season in March 2022.[13]
Zrinjski Mostar
On 30 November 2022, Rendulić was appointed to replace Sergej Jakirović as manager of Bosnian Premier League club Zrinjski Mostar.[14] In his first game in charge, Zrinjski beat Laktaši in a Bosnian Cup game on 19 February 2023.[15] On 8 March 2023, he won his first Mostar derby as a manager in a 3–1 victory over rivals Velež.[16]
After a fourteen-game winning streak, Rendulić suffered his first defeat as Zrinjski manager on 26 April 2023 in a 3–2 loss to Sarajevo.[17] On 30 April, he managed Zrinjski to a 2–0 win against Posušje, winning the club's eighth league title four rounds before the end of the season.[18] Rendulić won the club's first ever double by beating rivals Velež in the cup final on 17 May 2023.[19]
In August 2023, Zrinjski became the first ever club from Bosnia and Herzegovina to reach the group stages of a European club competition after eliminating Icelandic club Breiðablik in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round, which assured the club of a group stage spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League as a minimum.[20] After losing to LASK in the Europa League play-off round, Zrinjski dropped into the Conference League group stage, where they were drawn into Group E alongside Aston Villa, AZ and Legia Warsaw.[21] On matchday one, Rendulić's side pulled off an astonishing comeback against AZ. Trailing 3–0 at half time, the team made history and came back to win 4–3.[22]
Following defeats from Legia Warsaw in the Conference League, and from rivals Velež in the domestic league, Rendulić mutually terminated his contract with Zrinjski on 18 November 2023.[23]
