Dragi Kanatlarovski (Macedonian: Драги Канатларовски, born 8 November 1960) is a Macedonian football manager and former player. He represented the Yugoslav national team.
Name issue
His original name is Dragi and not Dragan as he is often mistaken for. The confusion happens since in Macedonia Dragi stands as one the nicknames for those who are called Dragan, but not in this case.[1] Similar problem has the current goalkeeper of the Macedonian national team, Tome Pačovski who is mistaken for Tomislav.[2]
Player career
Born in Bitola,[3] SR Macedonia, FPR Yugoslavia, he played for FK Pelister before moving to FK Vardar where he will play four seasons. In 1989 he moved to Red Star Belgrade. He played one season in Belgrade, but it was enough to win the double, the Yugoslav Championship and the Yugoslav Cup. After that season he moved to Spain where he was Segunda División runner-up in summer 1991 and helped Deportivo La Coruña to be promoted back to La Liga where he played in the 1991–92 season, having reached the Spanish Cup semi-finals.
International career
He played his only cap for SFR Yugoslavia against Poland, friendly 28 March 1990. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia he represented Macedonia having played nine matches, scoring twice, between 1993 and 1995.

Coaching career
