Dragan Jakovljević (Serbian Cyrillic: Драган Jaкoвљeвић, born 23 February 1962) is a Bosnian Serb former footballer who played as a forward for FK Sarajevo, Nantes,[1] Royal Antwerp[2] as well as the SFR Yugoslavia national team.

Club career[]

Jakovljević was an important member of the memorable Sarajevo squad that won the 1984–85 Yugoslav First League and later became a Cup Winners Cup runner-up medal winner with Antwerp after losing the 1993 Final to Parma at Wembley Stadium.

International career[]

He made his debut for Yugoslavia in a December 1987 European Championship qualification match away against Turkey and has earned a total of 8 caps, scoring 3 goals. Jakovljević was included by Yugoslavia national football team to UEFA Euro 1992 as a replacement player to Darko Pančev, who renounced in 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]
