Partizan ‘s babies – the first european final examination ( 1958–1966 ) [edit ]
By the mid-1950s, the first big Partizan generation was well over its acme. lone two titles and four cups in its first base 15 years of being were not enough for a club of Partizan ‘s stature, ambition and popularity. In 1958, the cabaret left way behind 13 years of playing in blue-red kits and adopted the now celebrated black and white colors. The change in the club ‘s visualize and appearance was followed by radical changes in the play team. The count of young players, offspring of Partizan ‘s own young person ranks known as Partizanove bebe ( The Partizan ‘s babies ), soon emerged into one of the best generations Europe ‘s always seen. The heighten of the generation began with Milutin Šoškić, Fahrudin Jusufi, Jovan Miladinović, Velibor Vasović, Milan Galić, Ilija Mitić, Zvezdan Čebinac and Vladica Kovačević. identical soon, they were joined by Lazar Radović, Velimir Sombolac, Ljubomir Mihajlović and Mustafa Hasanagić, and ultimately Ivan Ćurković, Josip Pirmajer, Branko Rašović and Radoslav Bečejac. Managers Illés Spitz, Florijan Matekalo and Stjepan Bobek monitored and guided their exploitation. The decisiveness to rely largely on talented youngsters scouted from all over the country quickly gave results – Partizan took three straight championship titles, in 1961, [ 23 ] 1962 [ 24 ] and 1963, [ 25 ] the first title hat-trick in the Yugoslav First League. Efficient and attractive performances earned the cabaret its democratic dub “ Parni valjak “ ( “ The Steamroller ” ). In 1964–65, the team added the one-fourth title in five years [ 26 ] ( interrupted by city equal Red Star during the 1963–64 temper ). vitamin a early as the 1960s, a cutthroat and intense competition grew up between Partizan and Red Star .
The 1965–66 european Cup campaign was the crown of this generation ‘s career. After eliminating french Nantes ( 2–0, 2–2 ) and german champion Werder Bremen ( 3–0, 1–0 ) in the first two rounds, Partizan were drawn against Sparta Prague in the quarter-finals. In the first leg, held in Prague, Partizan suffered a unvoiced 4–1 frustration. Although they were not given any chances in the return key stage in Belgrade, Partizan pulled off a convincing 5–0 win in front of 50,000 spectators, [ 27 ] and with aggregate score 6–4 qualified for the semifinals. The semi-finals would see Partizan taking part in an aroused bind that would bring Manchester United, in their first season back in the european Cup after the Munich air travel calamity, returning to the view of their final game, at the JNA Stadium, before embarking on that black travel home ( on the way home from a european Cup quarter-final victory against Red Star, which was played at JNA Stadium, the aircraft carrying the Manchester United players, officials and journalists crashed while attempting to take off after refuelling in Munich ) .Manchester United, led by George Best and Bobby Charlton, awaited ultimately them on the last step to the finals. Partizan won the beginning leg at JNA Stadium 2–0, [ 28 ] and resisted the heavy press on Old Trafford, conceding only once ; with a 2–1 aggregate scoreline, they eliminated the english giants. [ 29 ] Partizan ‘s babies achieved the greatest achiever in history of Partizan, a place in the 1966 european Cup final examination against real Madrid. The final examination game was played on 11 May at Heysel Stadium, Brussels. Until the 70th moment, Partizan was 1–0 up through a goal by Velibor Vasović, but ultimately lost to the Spaniards 2–1. [ 30 ] Partizan may have come close to a celebrated victory, but they had immediately missed their chance as the side was immediately broken up with their star players heading west. still, Partizan became the beginning club from the Balkans and Eastern Europe to have played in a european Cup final. [ 31 ]
The brief reelect – the foremost european trophy ( 1976–1982 ) [edit ]
On 11 July 1976, in Ljubljana, Partizan played the last game of the temper against Olimpija and needed a succeed to clinch the entitle ahead of rivals Hajduk Split.

Its director was Ante Mladinić. unexpectedly, the following 1978–79 season turned out to be the worst in Partizan history : they finished 15th in the league, barely avoiding relegation with a 4–2 victory against Budućnost in the last fastness. The new crisis was unplayful, which reflected in the results next temper, when Partizan finished 13th. It took a two more seasons, but Partizan finally recovered .
memorable years ( 1982–1991 ) [edit ]
The premature death of star actor Dragan Mance in a 1985 traffic collision made him into a club legend. When Momčilo Vukotić, Nenad Stojković and Nikica Klinčarski were joined by Ljubomir Radanović, Zvonko Živković, Zoran Dimitrijević and Dragan Mance, another great generation was formed. Partizan became champion for 1982–83 season, in large contribution ascribable to extraordinary performances of a young Dragan Mance. [ 34 ] He helped Partizan win the league by scoring 15 goals, and immediately became a fan favored. He besides led the club in their 1984–85 UEFA Cup second round tie against Queens Park Rangers, one of the most memorable matches in the club ‘s history. QPR won the first branch 6–2, but Partizan advanced after a 4–0 revert victory.

[ 36 ] On 3 September 1985, the players tragically lost their teammate and the fans lost their idol – Mance died in a cable car crash on Novi Sad-Belgrade highway. [ 37 ] He was only 22 years previous, and at the point of his popularity. even nowadays, Mance is considered to be the greatest club legend by the fans of Partizan. In his honor, the street adjacent to the club ‘s stadium in Belgrade has carried his appoint since 2011. [ 38 ] In 1985–86, Partizan won the championship with a 4–0 winnings over Željezničar due to better goal dispute than second-placed Red Star. [ 39 ] however, Yugoslav FA President Slavko Šajber decided that the entire last round of golf of fixtures had to be replayed after accusations that certain results had been fixed. Partizan refused to replay its match, after which the game was awarded 3–0 to Željezničar, and the title was given to Red Star, who thus got to play in 1986–87 european Cup. Because of these events, 12 clubs started the adjacent 1986–87 season with a discount of six points, Partizan among them. Vardar, who had not been deducted six points, won the deed and subsequently participated in 1987–88 european Cup. however, after a sequence of appeals and lawsuits which finally led to Yugoslav Constitutional Court, the original final table of 1985–86, with Partizan as champions, was formally recognized in mid-1987. besides, the points discount from 1986–87 season was annulled and the title was given to Partizan, who headed the table without the deduction. These controversial events prevented the generation of Milko Đurovski, Fahrudin Omerović, Zvonko Varga, Vladimir Vermezović, Admir Smajić, Goran Stevanović, Nebojša Vučićević, Miloš Đelmaš, Srečko Katanec, Fadil Vokrri and Bajro Župić from showing their full electric potential in Europe. Partizan spent the final years in Yugoslavia undergoing significant organizational changes. In 1989, former goalkeeper Ivan Ćurković became club president while Mirko Marjanović became the president of the united states of Partizan ‘s administrator board. Most significant, Partizan players in these final years were Predrag Mijatović, Slaviša Jokanović, Predrag Spasić, Dragoljub and Branko Brnović, Budimir Vujačić, Vujadin Stanojković, Darko Milanič and Džoni Novak. however, this great coevals was overshadowed by their crosstown rival Red Star and its rampage through domestic league, Europe and the world. Partizan only won the 1989 national cup, 32 years after the last victory in that rival. The last trophy won before the dissolution of Yugoslavia was the 1989 Yugoslav Super Cup, the first and the only one organized. besides in the lapp season 1988/89, Partizan won the prestigious international tournament Uhrencup, which is played every year in Switzerland and to this day.

[ 40 ]
Dark ten and domestic success ( 1990s ) [edit ]
After the death of President Josip Broz Tito in 1980, heathen tension grew in Yugoslavia, with the pursue, that in the early 1990s the Yugoslav state began to fall apart, and the civil war broke out. At the end of May in 1992, the United Nations Security Council imposed sanctions against the country, which led to political isolation, economic decline and hyperinflation of the Yugoslav tunisian dinar, and finally dislodged Yugoslav football from the international scene. The decay of Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav wars from 1991 to 1995, the resulting difficulties, american samoa well as the sanctions had hit all Yugoslav clubs hard. After the dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia in 1991, a raw Yugoslavia was formed out from Serbia and Montenegro and was named FR Yugoslavia. Notwithstanding, Partizan won during the war two titles in a row, in 1993 and 1994. The following two championships Partizan won came in 1996 and 1997, but after only few years of peace, the Yugoslav clubs stood again earlier unmanageable times. between 1998 and 1999, peace was broken again because the situation in Kosovo worsened with continue clashes between Yugoslav security forces and the Kosovo Liberation Army. The confrontations led to the Kosovo War and ultimately to the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, which started four days after the 112th Red Star–Partizan bowler hat, and this without a UN Mandate ,. [ 41 ] The bombard campaign was criticized, particularly for the count of civilian casualties that resulted from the bombing. [ 42 ] By this time, Partizan won in 1999 a far backing title, again during a war. During these disruptive 1990s, the cabaret won besides several national cups, this in 1992, 1994 and 1998. The key man for these trophies was Ljubiša Tumbaković, who became the most successful coach in Partizan ‘s history. In 1997, Partizan was reintroduced to european competitions following the rise of the UEFA ban on clubs from FR Yugoslavia, but while the national team continued where they had stopped in the spring of 1992, the clubs had all their results erased and were treated as the beginners in the european competitions. The decision met with incomprehension among the club officials of the Yugoslav clubs. That decision will have long-run catastrophic consequences for Partizan – rather of enjoying the merits of its own many-year work, they would get harder opponents from the beginning and the competition would start already in July. This decade has been marked by numerous team changes and the circle of selling the best players to richer european clubs after barely a couple of seasons of first-team football and replacing them with fresh young talents. many players are credited with the successes of the nineties, such as Predrag Mijatović, Slaviša Jokanović, Savo Milošević, Albert Nađ, Dragan Ćirić, Zoran Mirković, Saša Ćurčić, Branko Brnović, Goran Pandurović, Dražen Bolić, Niša Saveljić, Damir Čakar, Budimir Vujačić, Ivan Tomić, Gjorgji Hristov, Đorđe Tomić, Ivica Kralj, Mateja Kežman and many others .
The modern beginning ( 2000–2005 ) [edit ]
The new millennium has arrived, but the goals remain the same. In the last 12 years, Partizan has won eight national championships, four cups and managed to qualify two times for the UEFA Champions League and five times for the UEFA Europa League. Led by Ljubiša Tumbaković, the golf club won two backing titles in a row, in 2001–02 [ 43 ] and 2002–03. [ 44 ] In Europe, Partizan did not have a lot success in those seasons, though the future matchless would become its best season in Europe after 1965–66, where it reached the 1966 european Cup concluding. The club ‘s management took the 2003 season very badly, appointing as its fresh coach the former World Player of the Year Lothar Matthäus, and brought some top and experienced players like Taribo West from 1.FC Kaiserslautern, Ljubinko Drulović from Benfica and Tomasz Rząsa from Feyenoord. For the first time in its history, the club played in the UEFA Champions League after eliminating Bobby Robson ‘s Newcastle United. In Belgrade, Partizan lost by 0–1, but in replay at St James ‘ Park, they won by Ivica Iliev ‘s goal in even time and reached the group stages after a penalty shoot-out. [ 45 ] Later on, Partizan was drawn in a ruffianly group with Real Madrid ( the previous year ‘s Champions League semi-finalist ), Porto ( the achiever of the 2002–03 UEFA Cup and the eventual winner of the contest ) and Marseille ( the eventual runner-up of the 2003–04 UEFA Cup ). [ 46 ] The Partizan Stadium was a street fighter flat coat for the opposition and the team did not lost a home game, playing out a 0–0 draw with Real Madrid ‘s celebrated Galácticos, which included players such as Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Luís Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raúl and David Beckham ; a 1–1 draw with Porto, led by coach José Mourinho ; and Marseille, with its superstars Fabien Barthez and Didier Drogba, while playing some inhale football in the away match in Madrid ( 0–1 ), Marseille ( 0–3 ) and Porto ( 1–2 ). They are the first gear serbian team to qualify for the main draw of this elite european cabaret rival since its origin in 1992. Playing in Europe was reflected in the championship, and Partizan lost the title. New coach Vladimir Vermezović taken the charge of a team and he superiority won the backing in 2005. besides, he became the alone coach who has managed to take the team to the knockout stage of a european rival since newfangled format. That happened in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, where Partizan reached the round-of-16. Later on, he was eliminated by CSKA Moscow, the eventual winner of the competition. Poor results in domestic and international competitions in 2006 prompted the cabaret ‘s officials to look for a modern drumhead passenger car. First, Jürgen Röber was brought in, then late Miodrag Ješić, though neither succeeded in winning the domestic championship. Although Partizan has managed to qualify for the 2006–07 UEFA Cup group stage, [ 47 ] that season was viewed as a failure .

I ‘m responsible because Partizan adopted black and white colors. I suggested change of shirts on behalf of the hale team, to club ‘s general secretary Artur Takač. It all happened while we were on tour in South America, and when we played a friendly match against Juventus in 1957. We got as endowment two sets of their jerseys, as they were delighted with our plot. All the players were thrilled with the quality and color of the newfangled uniforms, and they asked me to wear them all the time, which happened at the goal, and Partizan ‘s colors has remained black and white to this day .
