Žarko Olarević (Serbian Cyrillic: Жарко Оларевић; born 28 July 1950) is a Serbian former football manager and player.

Club career

[edit]

As one of the Bobek Babes,[1] Olarević made his competitive debut for Partizan in the second half of the 1967–68 season.[2] He later spent two seasons on loan at Proleter Zrenjanin, before returning to Partizan. In the 1972 winter transfer window, Olarević was transferred to Radnički Kragujevac.[3]

In 1976, Olarević moved abroad to Belgium and signed with Royal Antwerp. He subsequently went to France to play for Lille, helping the club to promotion to the top flight in 1978. Between 1981 and 1983, Olarević spent two seasons at Le Havre. He retired after playing for Marseille in 1983–84.[4]

International career

At international level, Olarević represented Yugoslavia at two UEFA European Under-18 Championships, in 1967 and 1968.[5]

Managerial career

After hanging up his boots, Olarević became manager of Marseille, leading them to the 1986 Coupe de France final. He later served as manager of Bulgaria's Slavia Sofia, Morocco's Wydad Casablanca, and Poland's Zagłębie Lubin.[6]
