The former AC Milan and Serbia head coach had been fighting leukemia but has sadly lost his fight as his death was confirmed on Friday. Mihajlovic was originally diagnosed with a particularly severe form of the disease in 2019 and underwent three cycles of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant in an effort to fight it.
Mihajlovic will go down as a legendary figure in Italian football having represented the likes of Roman, Lazio Roma,  Sampdoria and Inter Milan - winning two Serie A titles and four Coppa Italias in the process. He also went on to add the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup to his collection in Italy.
