Vladan Lukić

After arrival to Red Star Belgrade from hometown Sopot, Lukić entered first team and immediately showed scoring abilities. He also had a good start with Yugoslavia national team, but his luck turned around in 1991 in a match against Austria, when he broke his leg in a collision with teammate Siniša Mihajlović. Lukić returned to football eventually, but never reached his full potential as a player. He had top performances in the 1996–97 season, when he won the Swiss Football League with FC Sion. The following year, he finished second placed in French Ligue 1 with FC Metz. He left the French club in protest against the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and returned to his native Sopot where he joined the Yugoslav Army.

After retiring from playing Lukić returned to his hometown and became the chairman of FK Sopot who were competing in the Serbian League Belgrade, which is the third tier of the Serbian football pyramid.

Red Star Belgrade president

On 26 May 2009, Lukić became president of Red Star Belgrade, replacing previous club president Dan Tana, whilst the club were experiencing major financial difficulties with their account blocked due to reported debt of €23 million. Along with Lukić, another former Red Star player came back to the club in administrative role—Ivan Adžić became the club's new sporting director. From the very beginning Lukić's tenure at the club was accompanied with rumours that Red Star's éminence grise Goran Vesić (also Democratic Party's prominent member and longtime political operative) is the real decision maker within the club. Lukić's first official order of business was hiring new head coach Vladimir "Pižon" Petrović in early June 2009. In November 2009, public prosecutor's office demanded for Lukić to be prohibited from performing the function of the president of Red Star Belgrade and fined due to his alleged support to hooligans. In December 2009, at the Serbian SuperLiga winter break, Red Star led the standings with three points ahead of eternal rivals FK Partizan. At the same time, Lukić announced that over his seven months in charge, the club managed to lower its debt by €6 million. Soon after the league restart, Lukić fired head coach Petrović…
