Dire run
The 61-year-old Czech, who previously coached the likes of SSC Napoli, S.S. Lazio and Fenerbahçe SK, was appointed in June, but has been cast aside after a dire run, with his side yet to win a game in five outings. Runners-up in Serbia last season, Crvena Zvezda bowed out to APOEL FC in the UEFA Cup second qualifying round, and have failed to score in three league outings this season, hitting the bottom of their domestic table for the first time in 24 years.
