Zoran Jankovic is a Yugoslavian former football manager who managed most notably in the USL A-League.

Managerial career

[edit]

Jankovic was born in Belgrade, and emigrated to Montreal, Canada in 1991.[1] Previously in Yugoslavia he served as the manager for FK BSK Batajnica in the 1989-90 season.[1] Once in Canada he managed in the Ligue de Soccer Elite Quebec with Jean-Talon Rosemont.[1] In 1996, he was named the men's soccer team head coach for Vanier College[2]

In 1997, he coached the Vermont Voltage in the USISL D-3 Pro League.[3][4] In 2000, he was appointed the head coach for the Montreal Impact in the USL A-League.[5][6] During his tenure with Montreal he brought in several imports such as Darko Kolić, Dejan Gluščević, and signed several younger players.[7] After four matches he was dismissed from his position due to a poor start to the season.[8][9]

On March 26, 2001, Jankovic was signed as the head coach of the newly formed Montreal Dynamites in the Canadian Professional Soccer League.[10][11] He brought many of his former Montreal Impact signings of the previous year.[12] With the Dynamites he led his team to a fourth-place finish in the overall standings, and secured a playoff berth. For his achievements he was recognized with the CPSL Coach of the Year award.[13] In 2002, Jankovic resigned from his position to become the head coach of the ARSL (Association Regionale de Soccer des Laurentides).[14]
