On 15 May 2018, Mišić and several of his teammates, including coaches, were injured following an attack by around 50 supporters of Sporting at the club's training ground after the team finished third in the league and missed out on the UEFA Champions League qualification. Despite the attack, he and the rest of the team agreed to play in the Portuguese Cup final scheduled for the following weekend, eventually losing to C.D. Aves.
On 17 January 2019, PAOK announced the signing of Mišić on loan from Sporting Lisbon until June 2020 with a buy-out option.Josip Mišić joins PAOK On 22 March 2020, after a remarkable season (the Croatian midfielder has provided an impressive total of eight assists, also scoring five goals including a last-gasp equaliser against arch-rivals Aris) and despite reports on the contrary in Portugal's press, it is clear that PAOK's agreement with Josip Mišić will take place in the next months and the Croatian will sign a yearly contract with the Greek club. PAOK decided to trigger his optional buy-out clause of €2 million.
International career He made his debut for Croatia in a January 2017 China Cup match against Chile and his second and final international was three days later in the same tournament against the host nation.
On 31 October 2022, Mišić was named in the preliminary 34-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but did not make the final 26.
