| He began his football career when he was 15 years old in the youth teams of OFK Titograd, his local side. He debuted in the first Yugoslav division for Budicnost. His first cap for the national side was in 1988 in a match against the Turkish national team. His good form shown at Budocnost made possible the transfer to the biggest club in Yugoslavia, Red Star Belgrade.
He won with Red Star three consecutive national titles in 1990, 1991 and 1992, two national Cups in 1990 and 1992 while in Europe, a European Cup and an Intercontinental Cup, both in 1991.
He drawn the attention of AC Milan's officials when the two teams met in the 1989/1990 season in the European Cups. The match was won by AC Milan on penalty kicks.
The first season in the red and black stripes jersey was an accomodationary one as he only played 10 matches and scored four goals. But the next season he became the 'Genius' of AC Milan. His intelligence could change a game result in a few moments. He won with AC Milan 3 Scudetto's and one Champions League.
The club president, Silvio Berlusconi had a weakness for him and his style of play. And it seems that the reason of firing Capello was Savicevic, which was staying on the bench.
