Zvezdan Terzić

Terzić played for AIK Bačka Topola and OFK Beograd (1989–1996) before transferring to Kastoria during the 1996–97 Greek Alpha Ethniki season where he finished out his playing career.

Simultaneously with playing Terzić also pursued his education, earning a degree in economics from the University of Belgrade in 1995. After his master's degree, he obtained the title of Doctor of Science on the topic "The influence of leaders on transformational changes in sports".

OFK Beograd

In 1997, after retiring from playing football, Terzić joined his old club OFK Beograd in the role of general director. The club was in rough shape, financially strapped and competing in the second-tier level. However, not long after he joined, the club bounced back up to the top league and started producing young talent that was sold directly to foreign teams, thus bypassing the usual route of first joining one of the two big Serbian clubs (Red Star or FK Partizan) before going abroad. Many youth players, some of whom—such as Bane Ivanović, Aleksandar Kolarov, Duško Tošić, and Slobodan Rajković—would go on to illustrious footballing careers, came up through the club during Terzić's tenure at OFK. By the mid-2000s, Terzić was an important factor in Serbian football. With his club a stable member of the top league and a slew of young OFK players that got their exposure through under-21 national team before being sold abroad, Terzić set his sights on the Serbian FA (FSS), which at the time had regional character only, under the umbrella of national Serbia-Montenegro FA (FSSCG).
