When Crvena zvezda became European and world champions, there were two Montenegrins in the team - Dejan Savićević and Duško Radinović.
Everything is known about Savićević, and Radinović went "under the radar" and lives a quiet life in Malmo, where he finished his career.
The former right back of OFK Titograd, Sutjeska, Zvezda, and the Swedish clubs Degerfors, Brage and Malmo, revealed in a statement to "Sportski žurnal" that he is now a physical education teacher.
"I live in Malmö and work in a primary school as a physical education teacher. The children heard about the European Red Star and my games. Every day they ask me: 'Dushko, can you tell us how you felt when you were the champions of Europe and the club champions of the world'. I am happy to engage in such and similar conversations with students. Good questions that take me back to the beautiful days. Children simply love to come to my classes and I am grateful that with such questions they bring me back to the golden days of my past and the golden period of my Red Star," said Radinović for "Žurnal".
Radinović was in the team that was supposed to represent Yugoslavia at the European Championship in 1992, but due to sanctions, Denmark went instead of the "blues" and won the gold. Because of the war in the ex-SFRJ, Zvezda also suffered.
"We had the misfortune that the war in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina followed and that we played the matches as hosts in Vienna, Bucharest, Budapest, Sofia and Athens. We had an exceptional team, two exceptional players in each position, and at that time we played the most beautiful football in Europe. Of that generation, I was the last to go abroad. I didn't end up in a big club, but I continued my career in an extremely beautiful, well-organized and well-organized country. I won the Swedish Cup. If there were no sanctions, Crvena Zvezda would have been champions of the Old Continent at least once more, and most of us would have continued our careers in the biggest clubs".
He is not in contact with his former teammates.
"I haven't seen or heard from my dear friends for almost 20 years. Admittedly, a few years ago I met Vlad Stošić. I live and work in Sweden, I don't come that often. Everyone is on their side, occupied with their duties. I hope to meet and see most of them soon", concluded Radinović.
