Vladimir Ivić (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Ивић, born 7 May 1977) is a Serbian footballer who last played as a midfielder for PAOK. He is the younger brother of Ilija Ivić, ex Red Star player and sports director.[2] He is currently the Head Coach of PAOK FC.
Ivić usually plays in midfield either as a defensive midfielder or as an attacking one. His main strengths are his accurate passing, heading, tactical awareness and good control of the ball. His obvious lack of speed though, has prevented him from establishing himself in a more demanding European league, so he has spent most of his career in Serbia and Greece.
Club career
On club level Ivić was an attacking midfielder who ended his career playing for PAOK in the Greek league, having signed from city rival Aris on a free transfer. Although his ex club Aris made the same bid for him, he preferred PAOK, because of their manager Fernando Santos. He played for AEK Athens before going to Aris but fell out of favour of the then manager Llorenç Serra Ferrer and was released. Ivić also played for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Partizan Belgrade in which helped them secure Yugoslav league in 1999 and 2002, the Yugoslav cup in 2001 and the Serbian league in 2003. Ivić will be remembered for his goal scoring ability and playing style from his FK Partizan and PAOK FC fans. He is one of many players to have played for both Partizan and PAOK and has stated he supports both teams.
International career
He made his international debut for the Serbia and Montenegro national team's against Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team in 2001. He has been capped over 32 times but he was not selected for the 2006 World Cup and has not been recalled since.
Coaching career
A year after retirement he returned to PAOK as head coach for the under-20 team(youth team).[3] On 9 March 2016 he became the head coach of PAOK FC until the end of the season due to the dismissal of Igor Tudor.[4]
