Dejan Stankovi\u0107 has returned to the bench of the Red Star Football Club and has taken over the position of head of the professional staff of the Serbian champions for the second time. In his address at the press conference, Stankovi\u0107 pointed out that Vladan Milojevi\u0107 left behind a good team.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former captain and coach of the Red-and-Whites led the club in the period from December 2019 to August 2022, which marked his first coaching mandate at Zvezda, as well as the first independent one in his coaching career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his first mandate, Stankovi\u0107 achieved significant results on the domestic and European stage. Under his leadership, Red Star won three Serbian championship titles, two national Cup trophies, and secured participation in the group stages of the Europa League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stankovi\u0107 first took over Red Star on December 21, 2019, and already in his first season as head of the professional staff, the Red-and-Whites won the Serbian championship title, with Stankovi\u0107 reaching the first trophy of his coaching career with a convincing 14-point advantage over Partizan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2020\/2021 season, Red Star dominated the domestic championship, going undefeated. The Red-and-Whites achieved 35 victories in 38 matches and scored a record 114 goals, and the season was crowned by winning the Serbian Cup after a victory over Partizan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the European stage, in the same season, Red Star secured a place in the knockout phase of the Europa League, passing a group featuring Hoffenheim, Slovan Liberec, and Gent. They finished the competition in the round of 32, where they were eliminated by Milan due to the away goals rule after the two-legged tie ended with a total score of 3:3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stankovi\u0107, a Belgrade native and one of the most famous players in the club’s history, also built a recognizable style of play and result stability as a coach. Following the parting with Vladan Milojevi\u0107, the club’s management decided to again place their trust in a coach who knows the environment and the club’s ambitions well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new professional staff also includes associates from abroad with the aim of improving work and preparing the team for the remainder of the season. The first assistant to Dejan Stankovi\u0107 will be Nenad Saki\u0107. The goalkeeper coach will be Pierluigi Brivio, the conditioning coach Federico Pannoncini, and the analyst Vincenzo Sasso. Stankovi\u0107 will lead the team through winter preparations and the continuation of competitive obligations in the domestic championship and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dejan Stankovi\u0107’s return to the “Rajko Miti\u0107” stadium caused great attention from the fans, who remember him as a coach under whose leadership Zvezda had result security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terzi\u0107: Milojevi\u0107 will surely return one day The general director of Red Star, Zvezdan Terzi\u0107, in his introductory address to journalists at the press conference, thanked Vladan Milojevi\u0107, the until recently coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He has left temporarily; the doors of Red Star always remain open to him, and he will surely return one day,” stated Terzi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of Zvezda noted that the Red-and-Whites had a turbulent season in which they did not secure a place in the league part of the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Then we said that maybe even the Europa League is not bad for Zvezda. And so it was. Now we are in a situation where we can secure a place in the top 8 in the upcoming matches, but we had some ‘coughs’ in the domestic championship. Whether we underestimated the domestic championship or something else, it is up to us to make an analysis. In these eight, nine years when we were winning the title, it never happened that Zvezda wasted 15 points. Practically, we gave them away. We should not deal with Partizan or anyone else; we must turn to ourselves and not allow such things anymore,” Terzi\u0107 emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terzi\u0107 stated that Milojevi\u0107 offered his resignation on several occasions due to dissatisfaction during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Zvezda, as a big club, has rarely changed a coach during the season. Milojevi\u0107 gave a lot to Zvezda and the least that was expected from us was to reject all those resignations. At his request, we parted ways. He said that maybe a new energy, some new face needs to enter the locker room. He felt that there was a flat line among the players. We parted ways as a coach like Milojevi\u0107 deserves, who gave so much to Red Star,” Terzi\u0107 added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stankovi\u0107: We have a good, strong team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new coach of Red Star, Dejan Stankovi\u0107, at the beginning of his address, thanked Vladan Milojevi\u0107 for everything he has done for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He brought many beautiful things, a lot of joy. Now, with six or seven years of experience, I know how it is. I know how much Zvezda consumes, grinds, but how much it knows how to be beautiful and joyful. That is Red Star and we are here to respond to all demands,” Dejan Stankovi\u0107 said at the press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stankovi\u0107 added that he reached an agreement with Zvezda’s leaders in a minute regarding taking over the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is no choosing just one trophy or competition. I am here to respond to all demands. We have a good, strong team. We did ‘cough’ a bit, as the direttore said, but those boys started in June and it can happen that in November or December power and motivation are lost, but we will change all that,” stated Stankovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zvezda’s coach said that he has changed a lot in the period after leaving Zvezda in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A lot of time has passed, I had various experiences \u2013 some difficult, some beautiful, some under great pressure\u2026 Surely I have more experience. We will see what I will bring, what the pitch will say, how the boys will accept me and I them. It is certain that it will be okay. It is known what Zvezda is, what it carries, and the pitch is the only measure. We start working as early as the 3rd and the pitch will give us all the answers, both to me and to you,” said Zvezda’s coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stankovi\u0107 said that he will not ask anything from the players that is not normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The salaries are big, they are professionals, everyone must do what they are paid for. If they don’t do that, they will write themselves off. The pitch will show everything in the end,” Stankovi\u0107 pointed out and added that he will count on all players in the current roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
