Savić arrived for a tryout at Red Star's Marakana stadium on March 21, 1972, and was promptly
included in the club's youth system. Two years later in 1974, he became a first team player. He
quickly grew into a feared striker and a fan favourite. At still only 19, he made his national team
debut for Yugoslavia. He ended up playing more than 400 official matches for Red Star Belgrade.
After leaving Red Star halfway through the 1982-83 season, Savić had a six-month stint in La
Liga with Sporting de Gijón where he was brought by countryman Vujadin Boškov who was the
head coach at the Asturian club. Savić then spent six seasons in French Ligue 1: two with Lille
OSC, and four with AS Cannes.
