Dragan Stojković
On 20 June 1988, the first day of the summer transfer window, Savićević went to Belgrade and signed with league champions Red Star Belgrade. The young creative midfielder thus joined the squad led by twenty-three-year-old attacking midfielder Dragan Stojković who had already established himself as the team leader. They additionally had supremely talented nineteen-year-old midfielder Robert Prosinečki as well as a potent up-and-coming all around squad.
