Milojevic: There was no thinking when Red Star called

BELGRADE - Serbian football giants Red Star Belgrade re-appointed Vladan Milojevic as head coach on Friday.

Milojevic succeeds Israeli coach Barak Bakhar.

"When I was leaving (after the first stint as Red Star head coach), I knew it was only temporary. The call (to return to the club) came and there was no thinking. You know me well, I am someone who believes in work and it is unrewarding to make promises, but I will do what is up to me and my team to ensure we continue on the path we set out on a few years ago," Milojevic told reporters at his unveiling after signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

"At the age of 16, I came to Red Star from a small town (Arandjelovac, central Serbia). Red Star have given a lot to me, they mean a lot to me and my family. I left after good results, but I always said Red Star can count on me and always have that one man it can call," he said.

Red Star is on a good path, the public is accustomed to a highly competitive level and the club has done some impressive things in recent years but continuity must be maintained, Milojevic added.
