Radomir Antić (Serbian Cyrillic: Радомир Антић; born 22 November 1948) is a Serbian football manager. He was a former football defender and former manager for the Serbia national team. Following a 17-year playing career, he moved into coaching.
Antić is the only individual who has managed Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. Additionally, he is one of only two men to have managed both Barcelona and Real Madrid, long-time bitter rivals (the other one is Enrique Fernández Viola).
He holds dual Serbian and Spanish citizenship.
Antić was born in Žitište to a Serbian family (his father Jovo is from Janja near Bijeljina, his mother Milka from the Grmeč region) that settled in the small town of Banat shortly before his birth. The family then moved to Titovo Užice when Radomir was six years old. He started his playing career with Sloboda Titovo Užice (1967–1968) and then moved to the club where he would play most of his career, Partizan (1968–1976). With Partizan, he won the national Championship in 1976.
In the summer of 1976, Antić signed for Fenerbahçe in Turkey. He spent two seasons in Istanbul before moving to the Spanish La Liga, where he played for Real Zaragoza.
In 1980, Antić moved on to Luton Town, a team in England's Second Division (which was then the second tier). Known in England as "Raddy", he helped Luton to the Second Division title in 1982, and stayed with the club for two seasons in the top division before leaving in 1984. At the end of the 1982–83 season, he played a key role in saving Luton from relegation, scoring a winning goal four minutes from time in the final League match of the season, away against Manchester City. City, the home team, were themselves relegated as a result. At full-time, Luton manager David Pleat ran across the pitch, hopping and waving his arms wildly in celebration.
