Slavoljub "Sava" Paunović (Serbian Cyrillic: Славољуб Сава Пауновић; born 1 January 1947) is a former Yugoslav and Serbian football manager and player.

Playing career

Paunović started out at Radnički Kragujevac, helping the club win promotion to the Yugoslav First League on two occasions, in 1969 and 1974. He later played for Partizan in the 1976–77 season.[1]
