Milorad "Mikan" Sekulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Милорад Микан Секуловић; 10 October 1950 – 5 June 2013) was a Serbian football manager and player.[1]

Playing career

Born in Bačko Dobro Polje, a village near Titov Vrbas, Sekulović started out at local club Sutjeska, before joining Vrbas in the summer of 1971. He spent two seasons with them, scoring 62 goals in 61 appearances in the Vojvodina League, the third tier of Yugoslav football.[2] After impressive displays with Vrbas, Sekulović moved to Yugoslav First League club Vojvodina in the summer of 1973. He spent just half a season there, making his debut in the top flight, before returning to Vrbas. In the spring of 1974, Sekulović netted 13 goals in 16 appearances, helping the side win promotion to the Yugoslav Second League.[2] He was the team's top scorer over the next few seasons, helping them win the Vojvodina League on two more occasions (1976–77 and 1978–79). In the 1981 winter transfer window, Sekulović switched to fellow Second League club AIK Bačka Topola.

Managerial career

After hanging up his boots, Sekulović managed numerous clubs in his homeland, most notably Vrbas (three spells) and Hajduk Kula (1989–1992).[3]

Death

On 5 June 2013, Sekulović died due to illness at the age of 62.[4]
