Todor "Toza " Veselinović (Serbian Cyrillic : Тодор "Тоза" Веселиновић , pronounced [tôdor ʋeselǐːnoʋitɕ] ; 22 October 1930 – 17 May 2017) was a Serbian footballer and coach. He was one of the most renowned goalscorers in Yugoslavian history. Veselinović was the last surviving member of Yugoslavia's 1954 World Cup squad. He also won a silver medal at the 1956 Summer Olympics .[1]

At international level, he won 37 caps and scored 28 goals. He played in the 1954 FIFA World Cup and 1958 FIFA World Cup , scoring three goals in the latter tournament. He played for several clubs in his homeland and abroad. He established himself as one of the best strikers in former Yugoslavia. He was the Yugoslav First League top scorer on four occasions. In total for Vojvodina , he scored 586 goals, including unofficial games.[2]
Coaching career [ ]
He later began a coaching career and managed several clubs, including Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia, Olympiacos in Greece, and Fenerbahçe in Turkey. He won two Turkish league titles (1985 and 1989 ) with Fenerbahçe.
