Kuzman Babeu (Serbian Cyrillic: Кузман Бабеу; born 4 November 1971) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a defender and current manager.
Career
Regarded as a physical player, Babeu is best remembered for his time at Obilić, between 1996 and 2000, during Arkan's ownership of the club. He was one of the most regular members of the team that controversially won the 1997–98 First League of FR Yugoslavia. In the summer of 2000, Babeu was close to signing with Red Star Belgrade. However, according to Babeu, the club's president, Dragan Džajić, eventually decided to pull out of the deal due to Babeu's mature age.[1] After leaving Obilić, Babeu briefly played for Slavia Sofia (2000), Sutjeska Nikšić (2001), Remont Čačak (2001), Mladost Apatin (2002), Palilulac Beograd (2003), Henan Construction (2004), and Hajduk Beograd (2005).
After hanging up his boots, Babeu served as manager of several lower league clubs, including Serbian League Belgrade's Balkan Mirijevo and Drina Zone League's Polimlje.[2]
