Milomir Mijatović (born December 27, 1953 in Požega , Yugoslavia ; † June 22, 2020 in Mannheim , Germany ) was a German handball player and functional and coach . The right back player played 48 internationals for the Yugoslav national team and played for TSV Grün-Weiß Dankersen and SG Weiche-Handewitt in the Bundesliga .

Career

Mijatović played in Yugoslavia for RK Krivaja Zavidovići and RK Željezničar Sarajevo . In 1982 he reached the final of the newly introduced IHF Cup with Sarajevo , in which, however, they clearly lost to VfL Gummersbach in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle with 14:23. He then moved to Germany for the newly promoted HC TuRa Bergkamen in the 2nd Bundesliga , with whom he was promoted to the Bundesliga at the end of the season. Nevertheless, he moved to TSV Grün-Weiß Dankersen, where he stayed for two years. Between 1985 and 1990 Mijatović played for SG Weiche-Handewitt and shuttled with the club between first and second class. The descent in the 1986/87 season was followed by direct resurgence. When coach Constantin Tudosie was dismissed in November 1989 , Mijatović jumped in as a player- coach , but could not prevent relegation. He then moved to second division promoted Bramstedter TS and also filled the position of player-coach there. This was followed by direct relegation to the Regionalliga and he ended his playing career a season later.

In 1992 he started his first "pure" coaching job at TSV GWD Minden in the 2nd Bundesliga. Mijatović should lead the old master back to the Bundesliga within the next two years. That did not succeed at first and when the team lost the championship lead in February 1995 due to a high 22:30 defeat at VfL Eintracht Hagen , he was dismissed. In October he was signed by VfL Bad Schwartau , but could not prevent relegation from the Bundesliga. Two years later the club rose again. After a 26:29 home defeat against ThSV Eisenach and the associated slipping to 15th place in the table, the dismissal followed. In the summer of 2000 he took over the position of director for sports and marketing at TuS Nettelstedt . After the dismissal of Zlatko Ferić in January 2001, Mijatović moved to the coaching post. But since only 2: 8 points were scored from the next five games under his leadership, he was dismissed and from the summer trained the Italian first division club AS Papillon Conversano . After a fourth place in the league and the lost cup final, the separation also followed here. In 2003 he accepted the offer from the women's Bundesliga promoted SC Buntekuh Lübeck , which he had to leave after only three months. He should also take care of the acquisition of new sponsors, which he did not succeed sufficiently. This was followed by a brief engagement with the Bundesliga club Frisch Auf Göppingen from December 2003 to February 2004. From 2008 to 2010 he was a youth coach for the Rhein-Neckar Löwen .

Others

At the beginning of 1993, the Croat Mijatović applied for German citizenship , which he then held. He was married to Mrs. Andjelka. The couple have a daughter.
