Dragan Jakovljević (Serbian Cyrillic: Драган Јаковљевић; 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]
