Following a 17-year playing career, including a two-year stint at Real Zaragoza in Spain, Antic enjoyed a glittering coaching career across a number of clubs.

Antic was most well-known for his stint at Atletico – split into three stints between 1995 and 2000 – when he won the double of La Liga and the Copa del Rey in the 1995/96 campaign.

The Serbian spent 16 years of his coaching career in Spain, starting with a stint in charge of his former club Zaragoza before moving on to Real Madrid, Real Oviedo, Atletico (three separate appointments), and then back to Oviedo, before shorts spells in charge of Barcelona and Celta de Vigo.
