Football career

Playing

Born on 30 November 1958 in Osečenica, Ješić played for Partizan Belgrade between 1974 and 1985,[1] taking part in 342 matches and scoring 81 goals.

For the Yugoslavia national football team, he played in 8 games and scored twice.

Between 1985 and 1989 he represented Altay SK, where he recorded 140 matches and 61 goals, and finished his career at Trabzonspor in 1989-90 with 40 matches and 9 goals.

He is immensely disliked amongst the Fenerbahçe supporters because they view him as responsible for an injury suffered by "Şeytan" Rıdvan Dilmen (Rıdvan the Devil) in 1990 during a league match between Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor. Rıdvan never fully recovered despite undergoing sixteen operations, and eventually had to retire in 1995 at Fenerbahçe after painful years of injuries. Ješić had also accumulated a record number of bookings in his tenure in Turkish Süper Lig. Opponents claimed that he also injured many players in Turkey and gave him the nickname of "Kasap Jesic", which means "Jesic the Butcher"

Coaching

As a manager, Ješić began his career at FK Obilić in 1993, reaching a Yugoslav Cup final, and then managed several other Serbian teams, including OFK Beograd and his native Partizan, that, during his period at the helm, scored 111 goals in a single season, a club record. Won over FC Flora Estonia 6:0, 4:1, won over FC Rijeka Croatia 3:1, 3:0 in UEFA Cup.

Coaching Tunisian side Club Sportif Sfaxien in 2000-01 and winning the Arab Champions League, he was at the helm of Turkish club SK Altay in 2002 and moved to Bulgaria in 2002 to manage Slavia Sofia and then Iranian Pegah Gilan F.C., after which he became the manager of CSKA Sofia. During this period he became a Champion of Bulgaria and recorded a win over Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League qualifying phase, also eliminating Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Cup. Voted coach no. 1 for season 2004/2005 by Bulgarian sport newspaper.

In May 2006 he became the coach of FK Partizan, Belgrade for the second time in his coaching career. However, following a disappointing first half of the season, he left the club in January 2007.[2] Since November 2007 he was coaching Litex Lovech. With him Litex won Bulgarian national Cup.

In June 2008, he signed with Romanian Liga I debutant team CS Otopeni and following a series of defeats his agreement was terminated early on 18 August 2008.[3]

In September 2008, he signed a one year professional contract with Montenegrin First League team FK Buducnost Podgorica.

In July 2009, he signed a one-year contract with Libyan First League team Al Ittihad.[4] On 22 September 2009, Al Ittihad won the Libyan Super Cup, beating Tarsana 3:2.

On 16 June 2010, Ješić was appointed to the manager of Changsha Ginde replacing Hao Wei.[5]
