On Wednesday, 16 May 2018 at Rajko Mitić Stadium our Head Coach Vladan Milojević has put pen to paper to extend his Crvena zvezda contract. He will lead the red-and-whites until the end of the 2019/20 season.
He says the deal was never in doubt.
“We were always going to agree on a new deal with no fuss. The results that we’ve got this season have lifted the bar for the club – we want to do even better. I’m blessed to be working with some great people at Crvena zvezda and I’m delighted to be staying. We’ve got more work to do!”
Club President Svetozar Mijailović is pleased with the direction the club is moving.
“We needed stability and we’ve got that with Vladan Milojević. He and the team have had a wonderful season, but our name and history push us to always demand more from ourselves and our colleagues. Everyone here respects and trusts Vladan and we have no doubt that there will be more trophies in his Crvena zvezda career.”
Managing Director Zvezdan Terzić says the club is already preparing for the upcoming 2018/19 season, knowing that the team will be facing some big games early on in the European competition.
“It’s all about preparing for next campaign, especially for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. We’ve made the most important step today – we’ve secured a tactician who has a lot to offer to this club and has a wonderful ability to improve everyone around him. The number one goal is to retain the Superliga title and to perform as well as we possibly can in Europe. We know that it’s so important to the fans.”
Director of Football Mitar Mrkela was delighted to see Milojević sign on.
“Vladan is essential to us. He’s already our biggest signing of this transfer window. We will try to improve further and to build on the results we’ve got this season. We are moving in the right direction.”
Club legend Dragan Džajić believes the team is in safe hands.
“This is a big boost to the club. It’s important to continue working with the system that was established by Vladan Milojević and I’m convinced the team will continue to grow under Vladan. Everyone here is behind him and I’m sure the club will benefit from that.”
