Zaviša Milosavljević (Serbian Cyrillic: Завиша Милосављевић; born 14 July 1961) is a Serbian football manager.
Milosavljević was a professor of physical education at the University of Belgrade. He is a former coach of the Serbian under-16, under-19 and under-23 national teams.[2] He has also coached Lesotho and Pakistan at international level.
Coaching career[edit]
Early years[edit]
From 1999 to 2001, Milosavljević managed FK Bor in the Serbian second division before coaching APR FC in Rwanda for a year, winning the national cup and national Super Cup in 2002. He then spent four years as Serbia national reserve teams.[2]
Lesotho[edit]
In 2007, he was appointed by the Lesotho Football Association as the coach of the Lesotho national team on a three year contract.[3] However he was sacked after a disappointing result, after leading Lesotho in 17 international matches losing nine, drawing six and winning only twice.[4]
Pakistan[edit]
On November 2011, Zaviša was appointed as the Pakistan national team coach on a two year contract.[2] He has mainly focused to improve infrastructure and bring on foreign based Pakistani players.[5] In August 2013, Milosavljević was controversially removed from his post as Pakistan national team coach following a defeat in a friendly against Afghanistan, having won three matches, drawing four and losing five during his stint at the national team.[6] He had also previously spoken against the policies of the Pakistan Football Federation under the controversial president Faisal Saleh Hayat, which ultimately led to his dismissal.[7][8] In 30 September, he was subsequently assigned a role at the Pakistan under 19 national team with his contract due to expire in two months.[9]
Dordoi Bishkek[edit]
In January 2014, Milosavljević left his role at the PPF's youth training academy to become the new manager of Kyrgyz club Dordoi Bishkek.[10] He brought the Pakistani international players Kaleemullah, Muhammad Adil and Saddam Hussain to the club along with him to help the side become Kyrgyzstan league and cup winners.[11] On 27 October 2015, Milosavljević resigned as manager of Dordoi Bishkek.[12]
Later years[edit]
Zaviša then coached briefly FK Timok in Serbia, before joining the Uzbekistan U23 national team as assistant under Ljubinko Drulović in 2019, finishing fourth in the 2020 AFC U23 Championship.[11][13]
