Miodrag Ješić

After starting out at Žarkovo, Ješić was recruited by Vladica Kovačević to join Partizan in 1976. He was promoted to the first team by manager Ante Mladinić, but made his competitive debut under the guidance of Tomislav Kaloperović in the 1980–81 season. During his stint which lasted until 1985, Ješić amassed 144 appearances and scored 13 goals for Partizan in the Yugoslav First League, helping the club win the national championship in the 1982–83 season led by Miloš Milutinović. He also found the back of the net in a memorable 4–0 victory over English side Queens Park Rangers in the return leg of the 1984–85 UEFA Cup second round. Subsequently, Ješić moved abroad to Turkey and signed with Altay on the invitation of his compatriot Kemal Omeragić. He was the team's top scorer in his first three seasons with the club. In total, Ješić collected 136 appearances and netted 40 goals for Altay in the top flight of Turkish football over his four seasons from 1985 to 1989. Following a season-long spell with Trabzonspor, Ješić returned to his homeland and rejoined Partizan in the summer of 1990 on the recommendation of his former manager Miloš Milutinović. He saw limited playing time that year, before deciding to hang up his boots, aged 32. In November 1992, Ješić came out of retirement to rejoin Altay.

At international level, Ješić was capped eight times for Yugoslavia between 1982 and 1984, scoring two goals. He played the full 90 minutes in a memorable 3–2 win over Bulgaria in December 1983 that qualified the nation for UEFA Euro 1984, but was omitted from the final squad for the tournament. His final cap came on 12 September 1984 in a heavy 6–1 friendly defeat to Scotland at Hampden Park.

After hanging up his boots, Ješić returned to his homeland and started his managerial career at Obilić in 1994. He later took charge of newly relegated Second League club Radnički Beograd. In May 1997, with five games left in the season, Ješić resigned from his position after the club's president allegedly "proposed" him to draw with Dinamo Pančevo. He subsequently took over fellow Second League side Mladi Radnik, before making his First League debut as manager of Radnički Niš in April 1998. He served in the same role for OFK Beograd during the NATO bombing-suspended 1998–99 campaign. In June 1999, Ješić was unveiled as new manager of Partizan, replacing recently departed Ljubiša Tumbaković. He guided the club to two convincing aggregate wins over Estonian champions Flora (10–1) and Croatian champions Rijeka (6–1) in the opening two qualifying rounds of the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League, before losing 5–1 on aggregate to Russian powerhouse Spartak Moscow in the final qualifying round. After suffering an early exit from the national cup and finishing as runners-up in the league, Ješić was dismissed and replaced by his predecessor Ljubiša Tumbaković in May 2000. During the summer of 2000, Ješić moved to Tunisia and agreed terms with CS Sfaxien.
