Dragomir "Dragan" Okuka (Serbian Cyrillic: Дpaгoмиp Драган Окука; born April 2, 1954) is a Serbian football coach and former player. As a player he was predominantly associated with his time with Velež Mostar where he won the 1981 Yugoslav Cup before joining Swedish club Örebro SK, the place his son, professional footballer Dražen, was born before ending his career soon after.
Starting his management career with FK Bečej, Dragan would win his first coaching honours with FK Obilić when he won the 1997–98 Yugoslav league title with them. Since then he has achieved success with Polish club Legia Warsaw and managed Serbian U-21 to a fourth-place finish within the 2006 European Under-21 Championship. He has also managed several other clubs and is as of 10 May 2014, currently the Head Coach of Chinese Super League club Changchun Yatai.
Dragan Okuka, born in Porija, Kalinovik, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, started his football career playing for FK Velež Nevesinje. However, he reached his affirmation at Yugoslav First League club Velež Mostar and in his debut season was part of the squad that narrowly missed out on winning the 1973–74 league title on goal difference to HNK Hajduk Split. After several seasons within Velež Mostar's midfield Dragan would go on to win the 1981 Yugoslav Cup and Balkans Cup with the club, while also gaining a BA in Law from the University of Mostar. Having spent the majority of his career in Velež Mostar (11 years, except one season he spent on loan at Leotar Trebinje), Dragan Okuka would join Swedish football Division 2 side Örebro SK for a short period before ending his career with Swedish lower league side Motala AIF.
