He also won the double with Real Madrid in the 1979/80 season.

At the European Cup level, he reached the final of the European Cup with Real Madrid in 1981 .

player

Associations (1946 to 1963)

Boškov spent the beginning of his career from 1946 to 1961 at FK Sloga or FK Vojvodina and completed 512 point games during this time. The Serb , who played as an outside runner in the World Cup system at the time , was unable to achieve any particular success with the red and whites from the Gradski stadium Novi Sad , as the Belgrade clubs Red Star and Partizan , but also clubs like Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split dominated in those years. Only in 1951 did he move into the cup final with Vojvodina. On the other hand, he was able to prove his personal class in the national team . At the age of 30 he was given permission to move abroad and signed with Sampdoria Genoa for the 1961/62 season in Italy . With the commitment to Young Fellows Zurich in the 1962/63 season, he ended his playing career.

National team (1951 to 1958)

At the age of 20, Vujadin Boškov made his debut on June 25, 1951 as a left wing runner in the international match in Belgrade against Switzerland in the Yugoslav national football team . He successfully participated in the 1952 Olympic tournament in Helsinki by winning the silver medal . The Zlatko Čajkovski , Ivan Horvath and Boškov runner series were among the best that could be seen in the fifties. In the final on August 2, 1952, however, they could not prevent the 2-0 defeat against the Hungarian team led by Ferenc Puskás . This was followed by two participations in the world championships in 1954 in Switzerland and in 1958 in Sweden . Boškov played all eight World Cup qualifiers - against Greece and Israel before the 1954 World Cup and against Greece and Romania before the 1958 World Cup.

In Switzerland and Sweden he was also active in all seven tournament games played by the Yugoslavs. Outstanding were the 1954 games against Brazil , which ended 1-1 after extra time and the 3-2 victory in the 1958 group game against France . On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Irish Football Association (IFA) Boškov was appointed together with his compatriot Bernard Vukas in the European continent selection for the game on August 13, 1955 in Belfast against Great Britain. Together with Ernst Ocffekt and Robert Jonquet , he formed the runner row in the 4-1 success of the European selection. Vukas managed a classic hat trick from the 77th to the 88th minute of the game . He left the national team after his 58th international match on June 19, 1958 against Germany after the 0-1 defeat in the quarter-finals at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.

Trainer (1963 to 2000)

Vujadin Boškov: Cup victory with FC Den Haag

In Switzerland, at Young Fellows Zurich , the coaching career of the professor of history and geography began in the 1963/64 season. As Boškov also spoke seven languages, he embarked on a true coach odyssey over the next few decades . He was in charge of FK Vojvodina , ADO Den Haag , Feyenoord Rotterdam , Real Saragossa , Real Madrid and Sporting Gijón , as well as Ascoli Calcio , Sampdoria Genoa , AS Roma , SSC Napoli , AC Perugia Calcio , Servette Geneva and was twice national coach of Yugoslavia .

Over the years he has earned the reputation of being one of the most respected and experienced coaches in Europe. As a coach, Boškov was an advocate of offensive football, which for him was primarily a running game and could only be successful on the basis of absolute discipline. He expected his players to “behave in a way that promotes their performance as professionals and orient their lives accordingly”. Immediate fines were an effective way of intervening for him if he noticed during training that certain exercises were not being performed with the necessary seriousness and concentration. He often reacted to tactical mistakes in the games by banishing the affected player to the bench. One of the goals of his coaching work was to achieve success with team unity.
