Slavoljub Muslin

Born to Croatian father Duje (from Split) and Serbian mother Danica (from Kragujevac), Slavoljub Muslin was born and raised in Belgrade, where he started playing football with OFK Beograd, continuing on in BASK, and Rad, before transferring to Red Star Belgrade. Muslin was a defensive stalwart for Red Star Belgrade in the 1970s. Throughout his six years at the Marakana, he played alongside some of the club's biggest stars, such as Dragan Džajić, Vladislav Bogićević, Jovan Aćimović, Vladimir Petrović and Dušan Savić. He won three championship titles with Red Star and finished as runner-up in the UEFA Cup in 1978-79, losing in the final to Borussia Mönchengladbach. In 1981, he moved on to Lille, then to Brest and finished his playing career with Caen.

France and Morocco

Muslin began coaching in 1988 at the club where he spent some playing years earlier – Brest – staying there until 1992. For the last two years of his tenure, he had David Ginola in the squad. Muslin spent the next three seasons at Pau, before moving on to Bordeaux in the summer of 1995. With a potent squad of quality up-and-coming players like Bixente Lizarazu, Christophe Dugarry as well as superstar-in-the-making Zinedine Zidane, Muslin led the team on a great run in the 1995–96 UEFA Cup ensuring progression to the quarterfinals before winter break 1995–96. He was sacked during spring 1996 due to poor domestic league form, which meant that he didn't get to lead the team in the UEFA Cup quarterfinals where the Girondins eliminated the favourites AC Milan and later made it to the final where they lost to a Bayern Munich team featuring the likes of Lothar Matthäus, Jürgen Klinsmann, Oliver Kahn and Markus Babbel. Lens became Muslin's home in the summer of 1996. He coached the team in 1996–97 season, before getting the axe on 11 March 1997. He went to Le Mans in the summer of 1997. He changed clubs during the 1998–99 season, moving to coaching the Moroccan side Raja Casablanca.
