Originally, I wrote this story on the day Siniša Mihajlović passed away, more than three years ago. Today, on 20 February 2026, he would've turned fifty-seven.
Hi. Greetings from NJ, USA from a Chilean that began watching footy [and Serie A] in the 90s. I have a soft spot for Mihajlovic, as he was teammates with Salas at Lazio. In Chile, even though I am Inter, we were all so happy when Lazio won the league title. Then Sinisa joined Inter. I also loved how he wore his collar up. Had no idea, btw, he won the league title with Vojvodina, of all teams. Regards.
Yeah, Miha had a knack for winning unexpected titles amd trophies. Vojvodina were champions only once before 1989. Lazio were champions only once before 2000. And then of course, there is the European Cup he won with Crvena Zvezda.
Beautiful piece, Nebojsa.
Thanks, Jack!
