Club career

Jakovljević was an important member of the memorable Sarajevo squad that won the

1993 Final to Parma at Wembley Stadium
.

International career

He made his debut for

24 May by claiming physical reasons, although this statement was believed for just a few people in Belgrade, who saw political views as the true cause of the withdrawal of the Macedonian forward.[3] Jakovljević, however, could never play in the tournament, as the national team would be suspended one week later due to the Yugoslav Wars.[4]

His final international was an October 1989 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Norway,[5] although he later played an unofficial match against ACF Fiorentina in May 1992, as a substitute man to Dejan Petković. The Italian club did won by 2–1, in the last match of the old Yugoslavia team before the Euro ban and before the country being reduced to Serbia and Montenegro federation.[6][7]
