Dušan Savić

Club

Savić started playing football in the local side Jedinstvo Ub in his hometown. He arrived for a tryout at Red Star's Marakana Stadium on 21 March 1972, and was promptly included in the club's youth system. Two years later in 1974, he became a first team player. He quickly grew into a feared striker and a fan favourite. He ended up playing more than 400 official matches for Red Star Belgrade. After leaving Red Star halfway through the 1982–83 season, Savić had a six-month stint in La Liga with Sporting de Gijón where he was brought by countryman Vujadin Boškov who was the head coach at the Asturian club. Savić then spent six seasons in French Ligue 1: two with Lille OSC, and four with AS Cannes.

International

At still only 19, he made his national team debut for Yugoslavia in a May 1975 friendly match against the Netherlands. He would earn a total of 12 caps (4 goals) and won his final one in an October 1982 defeat away against Norway.

Savić is married to TV journalist Marina Rajević who hosted a popular one-on-one talk-show Dok anđeli spavaju on RTS' third channel and later on BKTV. They have two sons: Uroš and Vujadin and a daughter named Teodora. Vujadin was also a professional football player.
