Aleksandar Tomašević (
Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Томашевић; 19 November 1908 – 21 February 1988) was a Serbian football player and manager
.
Playing career
Tomašević was one of the best forwards in the Belgrade clubs in the period before the World War II, the star player of
BASK
where he would stay for eleven years, until 1940, when because of a serious lesion of the meniscus, Tomašević had to stop playing. He is remembered as an excellent technician and a very effective striker.
National team
Beside 23 matches for the Belgrade City selection, and one match for the Yugoslav B team, Tomašević played 12 matches for the
Balkan Cup realized in Athens in 1935 and was a perfect opportunity for him to demonstrate the unfairness of his absence, having shown great condition and scored three goals in two matches that much helped his side to win the tournament, whereas Tomašević himself was the best scorer (along with Tirnanić with 3 goals each).[1]
His last match was on 22 May 1938 in a friendly match against Italy in Genoa (0-4 loss).
Managerial career
After his injury, Tomašević continued to be attached to football getting significant results as a football manager. He was the main coach of Sarajevo's
Radnički Beograd. He also spend some time coaching in Greece.[3]
