Predrag Jokanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Пpeдpaг Joкaнoвић; born 26 October 1968) is a Serbian retired professional footballer, and a current manager.
In his playing days, spent almost exclusively in Portugal – exactly ten years, nine of those in the Primeira Liga, where he amassed totals of 191 games and 18 goals – he played mainly as a defensive midfielder (although he could occasionally appear as a central defender).
After retiring in 2003, Jokanović took on a managerial career in the same country.
Born in Belgrade, Jokanović spent the vast majority of his professional playing career on the Portuguese island of Madeira, appearing for each of the region's biggest clubs. He started at C.F. União in 1993 in the Primeira Liga and, when the team was relegated two years later, he transferred to neighbours C.S. Marítimo, enjoying six steady seasons in which he inclusively played in the 1998–99 edition of the UEFA Cup, losing to Leeds United on penalties.
In 2001, after helping his side to the final of the Cup of Portugal, Jokanović was released, and promptly signed for C.D. Nacional who competed in the second division. After just one season at the club he helped it win promotion, and played there for one more year before retiring at almost 35 years of age.
