Bozovic Miodrag is a Yugoslav footballer and coach who runs the leading Serbian club Crvena Zvezda. Now he is 48 years old, but he has already managed to lead a dozen different clubs, most of which were Russian. When Bozovic Miodrag was a football player, he played in the position of defender.
Carier start
Bozovic Miodrag was born on June 22, 1968 in Yugoslavia. There he joined the academy of the local football club Buduchnost, where he spent his young years. In 1986, when he was eighteen years old, Bozovic signed a professional contract with the club, for which he eventually played an impressive segment of his career. For six years, Miodrag defended the colors of Buduchnost before moving to one of the strongest clubs in Yugoslavia, Crvena Zvezda, in 1992. However, it was Buduchnost that became the player’s real home - Bozovic Miodrag won 107 matches for the club, scoring six goals in them.
Player career
In the team “Crvena Zvezda” Bozovic Miodrag, whose photos began to appear on the covers of local sports magazines, spent only two years. In 1994, the 26-year-old player decided to try exotics and moved to the Indonesian club Pelita Jaya, where he played another two years. In 1996, Miodrag decided that he wanted to perform in Europe, but still in a warm country, so he moved to Cyprus, where he defended the colors of APOP for a year. In 1997, he moved to the Dutch Valveik, but failed to take root there. As a result, as early as the next year, Bozovic moved to the Japanese Avispa, but he spent only one season there, practically without going out onto the field. In 1999, the 31-year-old defender returned to Holland, where he signed a short-term contract with Rosendal, and in the summer of that year announced that he was completing a career. So the player Bozovic Miodrag is a thing of the past - you can hardly find a photo in the youth of this football player, since he is better known as a coach.
Career coach
Immediately after completing the career of a football player, Bozovic decided that he wanted to become a coach. Therefore, already in 2000, he entered the coaching staff of the Yugoslav club Belgrade, from where a year later he moved to Japan, where he began to work as an assistant coach at Consadol. In 2002, he returned to Yugoslavia, entering the Borat’s coaching staff, and then moved to Hajduk. Since 2004, Bozhovic assisted in the AEP club in Cyprus, until in 2005 he was given the opportunity to train professional teams on his own. It was then that he headed the Borat, with which he had previously worked. He worked there for a year, after which he returned to his native club Buduchnost, which at that time had already played in the Montenegro Championship. There, the coach spent a very successful year, and then moved to another Montenegrin club “Grbal”. In the same year, Bozovic once again headed the Borat, and in 2008 his journey to Russia began.
First, he headed Amkar for a little less than a year, then stood at the helm of Moscow for a year and a half, and then moved to another metropolitan club - Dynamo. He worked there for a year, after which he returned to Amkar. In June 2012, Bozhovich led Rostov, with whom he had the worst series in his career. In the fall of 2014, Miodrag was appointed head coach of Lokomotiv - this was the last Russian club he trained. In May 2015, Bozovic returned to his homeland, where he headed the Crvena Zvezda team, and today shows incredible results with it. Of the 64 matches, he lost only 8 and 9 tied - the remaining 47 ended in victories.
