Milenko Milošević (born 13 November 1976) is a retired Bosnian footballer and football manager. He usually fielded as a defensive midfielder, although Milo was also able to play as central defender.

FR Yugoslav First League

Born in Zvornik, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milenko Milošević played his early career in Serbia with FK Loznica from where he moved to Red Star Belgrade. After playing in Belgrade two seasons, he moved to another First League of FR Yugoslavia side, FK Sutjeska Nikšić.

Career in Belgium

Searching for a defensive midfielder, Belgian First division side Excelsior Mouscron offered Milošević a trial in 2003. During this trial however, Mouscron signed Algerian international Samir Beloufa for the position of defensive midfielder, making it no longer useful for Mouscron to sign Milosevic. Georges Leekens, the Mouscron coach at that time, recommended Milošević to his former team Cercle Brugge, who had just promoted and were interested in any improvement for the squad. Milošević signed a contract a little later.

His contract with Cercle ended in 2008 and was not renewed. He signed for West Flanders Division One side BS Poperinge, where he met his former Cercle manager Jerko Tipurić. Poperinge became champions and will play in the lowest nationwide league next season.

National team

Milošević has also played for the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, winning 1-2 in a match against Luxembourg in 2004.

After finishing his playing career

By early 2011, after Drina Zvornik manager Darko Vojvodić resigned, Milošević along with Svetozar Vukašinović took charge of the team in their Bosnian Premier League match against Olimpik and stayed as the club's dual managers until Dragan Mićić got appointed on 25 March 2011.
