Dušan "Dule" Savić (Serbian Cyrillic: Душaн Caвић; born June 1, 1955 in Ub, Serbia, FPR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian former football player.
He started playing football in the local side Jedinstvo Ub in his home town.
Savić arrived for a tryout at Red Star's Marakana stadium on March 21, 1972, and was promptly included in the club's youth system. Two years later in 1974, he became a first team player. He quickly grew into a feared striker and a fan favourite. At still only 19, he made his national team debut for Yugoslavia. He ended up playing more than 400 official matches for Red Star Belgrade.
After leaving Red Star halfway through the 1982-83 season, Savić had a six-month stint in La Liga with Sporting de Gijón where he was brought by countryman Vujadin Boškov who was the head coach at the Asturian club. Savić then spent six seasons in French Ligue 1: two with Lille OSC, and four with AS Cannes.
Savić performed the role of Red Star's(Crvena zvezda) sporting director from 1998 until 2005 under club president Dragan Džajić.
Savić is married to TV journalist Marina Rajević who hosted a popular one-on-one talk-show Dok anđeli spavaju on RTS' third channel and later on BKTV.
They have two sons: Uroš and Vujadin. Vujadin Savić started career in Red Star, and now plays for Bordeaux.
In addition to being a Red Star former great, fondly remembered by football fans across Serbia, Savić unexpectedly grew into somewhat of a pop-culture hero during the late 1990s. Several things contributed to this.
