Jovica Škoro (Serbian Cyrillic: Јовица Шкоро; born 12 December 1947) is a Serbian former football manager and player.
Playing career[edit]
After playing one season for Bečej in the Vojvodina League, Škoro joined Yugoslav Second League side Napredak Kruševac in 1969.[1] He would spend the following decade at the club, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer. In total, Škoro netted 115 league goals in 240 appearances.[2] He also helped the team win promotion to the Yugoslav First League on two occasions in 1976 and 1978. At the height of his career, Škoro scored a hat-trick in a memorable 4–0 friendly win over Tottenham Hotspur.[3]
Managerial career[edit]
After hanging up his boots, Škoro served as manager of Napredak Kruševac on numerous occasions.[4] He was most notably manager of Sartid Smederevo from October 2000 until his resignation in April 2003,[5] leading the team to a best-ever third-place league finish in the 2001–02 season, as well as reaching the FR Yugoslavia Cup final in the same year. Later on, Škoro was briefly manager of Serbian SuperLiga clubs Jagodina (2011) and Metalac Gornji Milanovac (2011).[6]
