Miodrag "Grof" Božović (Cyrillic: Миодраг Гроф Божовић; born 22 June 1968) is a Montenegrin football manager and former player, who is currently the manager of Red Star Belgrade. He has 2 sons who live in Holland: Milan Bozovic and Dejan Bozovic.

Playing career

Božović has played for Yugoslav teams FK Budućnost Podgorica and Red Star Belgrade, Dutch clubs RKC Waalwijk and RBC Roosendaal, as well as in Indonesia, Cyprus and Japan. He represented his U-21 national side once.

During his playing career Božović won Yugoslav Cup with Red Star Belgrade.

Managerial career

As a coach he had a successful spell in Budućnost in 2006-2007 season, when his team was leading in Montenegrin First League, but he resigned in February 2007, due to the disagreement with the board.[1] Božović also was successful in Borac Čačak, as he made a competitive team out of a humble club.

Russian side FC Amkar Perm qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the first time in club's history under his management. Next season, his new club FC Moscow was among the leaders in the Russian Premier League for long stretches, before fading in the end of the season and falling out of European qualification. In early 2010, FC Moscow dropped out of the Premier League due to financial considerations, and Božović became a free agent.

On 27 April 2010, Božović signed a three-year contract with FC Dynamo Moscow.[2]

After the game against his former club, Amkar, he was questioned in the flash interview, did he feel that he was playing against the team he had built himself. His answer was: "I feel I was playing against players who made me a coach." [3]

He resigned from Dynamo on 21 April 2011 after losing in a Russian Cup quarterfinal against FC Rostov (winning the Cup was the last hope for Dynamo to qualify for UEFA Europa League).[4]

In Serbia Božović was nicknamed Grof (the Count or Earl), because of his orderly and elegant appearance.[5]

In June 2012 he become the Manager General of FC Rostov. The next season Rostov won the 2013–14 Russian Cup.[6]

Red Star

On May 29, 2015 it was announced that Božović would manage his former club Red Star Belgrade.[7] His start as Red Star manager was turbulent. Red Star was eliminated from Kairat in first qualifying round for the Europa League and after comeback win against OFK Beograd and draw against Metalac in Gornji Milanovac in first two rounds of the Serbian Superliga. Serbian media and journalist was not on his side and criticizing him and his team play. After straight draw against Radnički Niš in front of 22.000 fans who started to chant against club board, Božović offer his resignation to the fans. Fans were explicit in their desire that board members must leave the club right away not him and give clear support to Božović. Several board members including vice president and general director leave the club, and Božović started "little war" with medias and his address to the media were interesting for the public, but also direct and a clear message.[8] After a series of bad performances, Red Star dominated throughout the match and win after comeback over Čukarički, played the best match of the season.

Božović mastermind Red Star to the 18 wins in a row and dominate Serbian Superliga with 26 points ahead of rivals, without defeat. With Božović at helm Red Star made the best start in club history.
