Ljubiša Tumbaković (Serbian Cyrillic: Љубиша Тумбаковић; born 2 September 1952) is a Serbian football manager. Tumbaković is the most successful coach in the history of Partizan Belgrade where he won six national championships and three national cups. Following a stint with Wuhan Zall in the Chinese Super League, he was appointed head coach of the Montenegrin national team on 19 January 2016.
Born in Belgrade's urban neighborhood of Dorćol, Tumbaković started out in the youth categories of Radnički Novi Beograd in 1962. Two years later, he joined the youth ranks of Partizan Belgrade. In 1970, with Tumbaković turning 18, he joined the senior squad. Although he didn't appear in any domestic league matches for Partizan, he did appear in 45 friendlies, scoring 6 goals.
Ljubiša Tumbaković started his management career with Partizan Belgrade in 1992. Partizan were in the doldrums when Tumbaković took control, however he immediately brought success to Partizan by winning the league with them in his debut season This was a feat that he would repeat five times during his first time with Partizan as well as winning three Yugoslav Cups. These achievements caught the eye of AEK Athens F.C. who finished third in the league under Tumbaković's management.
Ljubiša Tumbaković returned to FK Partizan at the beginning of the 2000/01 league season after a season away from the club and with the NATO attacks on Yugoslavia firmly behind the league, Tumbaković would continue establishing Partizan as one of the strongest teams in the league. However, despite more domestic success with Partizan where they won the 2001/02 league title European success was far more difficult to achieve. He would stand down from his position after almost a decade in charge of FK Partizan where he was one of the most successful coaches in Yugoslavian football history.
