The crushing defeat in the home edition of the “eternal derby” against Crvena zvezda, who achieved a historic 4-0 victory with the help of Timi Max Elšnik, has unsurprisingly triggered seismic shifts at Partizan. Following the painful loss, coach Aleksandar Stanojević decided to step down on his own, and the club’s new sporting director, Ivica Iliev, who was very critical of the foreign players after the derby, including the Ljubljana-born full-back Mario Jurčević, now faces the task of finding a new head coach.
It seems that Partizan’s first choice is quite clear—the club’s leadership wants to see a familiar face on the hot seat. Savo Milošević, who started both his playing and coaching career at Partizan, is reportedly their top target. When Milošević left the club in 2020, he was replaced by none other than Stanojević. The former top-tier striker is currently without a job, having last coached the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Prior to that, he had a stint in Ljubljana as the head coach of Olimpija during the tenure of former club president Milan Mandarić.
According to media reports from Serbia, the 51-year-old Savo Milošević has already been spotted at the Partizan offices following the eternal derby, leading many to believe it’s only a matter of time before this hot rumor becomes an official confirmation.
