Vladan Milojevic - 13 out of 13!

It all started seven years ago, when Floriana arrived at Maracana. Our football players were convincing then, and they easily secured the passage. Then Irtysh, Sparta from Prague and finally Krasnodar fell in order. Already then, Milojević entered the hearts of the fans, as he led Crvena zvezda to the group stage of one of the European competitions after ten years of waiting.

A season later, the red and white started fighting for the Champions League, and the first opponent was Spartaks Jurmala. Our players passed the first obstacle relatively easily, and then they were convincing against Suduva. In the third round, Nemanja Radonjić took Zvezda to the playoffs, and then the famous night in Salzburg and the famous turnaround of our boys followed, and placement in the most elite competition for the first time since the new format was played.

Only 12 months later, Vladan Milojević and his pullets managed to repeat the same result. We met again with the Lithuanian Suduv and passed it in a more difficult way compared to the first matchup. Then we defeated Helsinki, followed by an unforgettable night in Copenhagen, when, after the famous penalty shootout, we achieved a triumph and went to the lobby of the Champions League. Young Boys were waiting for us there, and the full Maracana in the second leg was enough for our players to force a result worthy of another placement in the Champions League.

Milojević came back when it was most needed, won the double crown and made it clear that the goal is again the biggest European club competition. He did not let 50,000 people down and with his Zvezda he succeeded again, and celebrated in the 13th qualifying match and wrote his name forever in the history of Red Star. For a long time, the name and surname of our head of professional staff will ring out at the Maracana, who deserved it with his results and great love for our club.
