Football legend, former Yugoslav football superstar Mihajlovic, a player known worldwide for his amazing free-kick skills, claimed his life in Italian leukemia. However, in his life, there have been miracles in overcoming diseases, as well as impressive achievements in his coaching journey. This article takes a deep dive into the life and football career of this legendary player.
Mikhailovic's football career is legendary, but before that, he faced the great test of his life. In July 2019, Mikhailovic was diagnosed with leukemia, a news that shocked the entire football world. However, he did not give up easily, and after a month and a half of hard treatment, he not only successfully returned to the coaching position, but also needed to stick to his job while undergoing treatment.
During this time, Mikhailovich underwent a bone marrow transplant and hopes of recovery were rekindled. He gradually returned to his normal life, and his mental state also improved. However, the ups and downs of fate are always unpredictable, and in March of this year, while leading Bologna to a match, he again declared ill and had to restart treatment. The outside world is still full of confidence that he can overcome the disease again, but after more than 8 months of hard work, Mikhailovich finally died at the age of 53.
Mikhailovic's death has deprived football of a great legend. Born in 1969, he was a prominent player of the Golden Age of the former Yugoslavia. Although Yugoslavia was divided into small countries, football talent continued to flourish. In the early years, fans were familiar with superstars such as Boban, Davao Suker and Mijatovi, but later the presence of players such as Nemanja Nemanja Vidic and Stankovic continued to make the region prominent. Today, the performances of current superstars such as Modric, Dzeko and Rakitic add to that tradition. Without some force majeure, these stars would have played alongside a top national team and set off waves in world football.
Mikhailovic plays the role of centre-back on the pitch and, in addition to his strong defensive abilities, his attacking skills are impressive, especially when it comes to free-kicks. His free-kick skills rival those of Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos, with incredible power and precision. In 1998, Mihailovic made a name for himself by scoring three free kicks in a Serie A match for Lazio against Sampdoria, shaking the global football scene. In fact, Mikhailovic is one of the most direct free-kicks in Serie A history, and his legendary status is unquestionable.
Mikhailovic helped Lazio win the Serie A title in the 1999-2000 season, a pivotal moment in the history of the Blue Eagles. However, for the next 20 years, the team never lifted the trophy again. In terms of the national team, due to the changing situation, Mikhailovic did not achieve much to mention. After retiring, he began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Inter Milan, then at Bologna, Catania, Fiorentina, Sampdoria and AC Milan, and as manager of the Serbian national team with a decent track record.
Mikhajlovic's death is a great loss in football, but his legend will live on in people's hearts and his free-kick skills will become a timeless classic. On the stage of football history, Mikhailovich's name will shine forever. May he rest in peace.
