Newfoundland and Larador is very fortunate to have a man of Dragan Mirkovic's ability working as our Technical Director. This past weekend I had the opportunity to have a brief chat with Dragan. Dragan is a man whom I hold in high regard. He is a man of character, knowledge and has a super passion for the game.

Just take a look at some of Dragan Mirkovic's impressive credentials.

Dragan Mirkovic came to Newfoundland from Yugoslavia where he played professional soccer for eight years. A striker, he also played several international soccer games as a member of the Yugoslavia national club. He emerged as the top scorer in the 1983 Middle Europe Cup tournament. Prior to coming to Newfoundland, Mirkovic was employed as coach of the Makarska Soccer Club's under-15-years team in Croatia.

Dragan Mirkovic is the current Head Coach of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Regional and National Training Centers, as well as Coach of the Girls Under 16 Provincial Team and the Women’s Canada Games Team. He coached the 2001 Women’s Canada Games team as well as several past Provincial Teams.
