Boško Simonović (Serbian Cyrillic : Бoшкo Cимoнoвић; 12 February 1898 – 5 August 1965) was a football coach, player, referee, and administrator. His most notable feat was coaching the Kingdom of Yugoslavia national team at the first World Cup in 1930 in Uruguay .
Though an architect by vocation , Simonović never worked in the profession he was trained for, instead devoting his whole life to sports – particularly football.
He played football as a goalkeeper in SK Srpski mač and later in BSK . Following a playing career he became a football referee and was the first Serb to referee an international match, in 1923 in Bucharest. He retired from refereeing following a broken leg in a sledding accident.[ 1]
