Veselin "Vujo" Vujović ( Serbian - Cyrillic Веселин Вујовић ; born January 19, 1961 in Cetinje , SR Montenegro , SFR Yugoslavia ) is a Montenegrin handball coach and former Yugoslav handball player .
With a body length of 1.96 m, he played in the left back space . He is considered one of the world's best, most successful, but also most controversial handball players of the 1980s. He was the first handball player to be elected world handball player in 1988 .
Career
As a player
At the age of 20 he started at the top Yugoslav club Metaloplastika Šabac . In 1988 he moved to Spain to FC Barcelona and in 1993 to BM Granollers .
As a trainer
After retiring in 2000, he became a coach for the Spanish first division club BM Ciudad Real . He lost this position in April 2002 after he had struck down the Flensburg player Lars Christiansen in the first leg of the European Cup Winners' Cup after the game against SG Flensburg-Handewitt . Then he stepped on Lars Krogh Jeppesen, who was lying on the ground . He received a ten-month ban and a fine of 9,000 euros from the EHF .
In 2005 he led the youth national team of Serbia-Montenegro to the first youth world championship title. At the 2004 European Championships in Slovenia , the Serbian-Montenegrin national team he trained won against eventual European champions Germany in the opening game 28:26. His team then finished sixth. At the 2005 World Cup in Tunisia, his team was fifth. At the 2006 European Championships in Switzerland, his team only finished ninth. This led to his replacement by Jovica Cvetković , as did the accusation that he had suggested to his players a deliberate loss in the game against Croatia . With him he practically exchanged his employer, because Veselin Vujović then trained the Macedonian team of RK Vardar Skopje , where Jovica Cvetković previously worked as a coach. On November 23, 2008 Vujović attacked after a European Cup match between Vardar Skopje and the Kadetten Schaffhausen the referee, whereupon he was suspended for a year and received a fine of 3,000 euros. In January 2010 he left Skopje and coached the Qatari club al-Sadd Sport Club until December 2010 . In April of the following year he took over the coaching position from RK Vardar Skopje again. After Vujović moved to the United Arab Emirates to al Shabab in the summer of 2013 , he became coach of the Croatian club RK Zagreb in September 2014 . From May 2015 he also coached the Slovenian national team . In the 2017/18 season he also coached the Slovenian first division club RD Koper 2013 . In the 2018/19 season he coached the Serbian first division club RK Železničar Niš . In September 2019 he took over RK Zagreb again. The Slovenian handball association separated from him in November 2019. After the 2019/20 season, Vujović ended his engagement with RK Zagreb for personal reasons.
