Radomir Antić (Serbian Cyrillic: Радомир Антић; born 22 November 1948) is a Serbian football manager. He was a former football defender and former football manager for the Serbian national team. Following a 17-year playing career he moved into coaching.
He is the only individual who has managed FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid. Additionally, Antić is one of only two men to have managed both FC 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 Banat town shortly before his birth. The family then moved to Titovo Užice when Radomir was six years old. He started his playing career with FK Sloboda Titovo Užice (1967–1968) and then moved to the club where he would play most of his career, FK Partizan (1968–1976). With FK Partizan he won national Championship (1976).
In the summer of 1976, he signed for Fenerbahçe in Turkey. He spent two seasons in Istanbul before moving to 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.
