After moving abroad that summer, Vukašinović played for two Austrian clubs, LASK and Wiener Sport-Club.[1]
Managerial career
In the late 1980s, Vukašinović was manager of the El Salvador national team, succeeding his compatriot Milovan Đorić. He later spent some time in Greece and Kuwait, before going on to manage a number of clubs in his homeland, including Hajduk Kula (two spells), Sartid Smederevo (1997–98), Čukarički (2001–02),[2] Vojvodina (2002–03),[3] and ČSK Čelarevo (2005–06).[4] Subsequently, Vukašinović was taking charge of Voždovac for two months, before stepping down in April 2007.[5] He then briefly managed Srem, before being hired by his former club Hajduk Kula for the third time in November 2007.[6] In May 2008, Vukašinović announced his decision to retire at the end of the season, citing his dissatisfaction with the overall state of Serbian football as the main reason.[7]
