Petrovic, 76, won the European Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1991 during his first spell in charge of the club.
In the same year he won the Yugoslav First League before leaving the following summer to join Espanyol.
In total Petrovic has managed 25 different clubs – some multiple times including Red Star Belgrade in three different spells.
He is currently in charge of Bulgarian second division side Litex Lovech having initially re-joined as a consultant earlier this year after three previous stints as manager.
Petrovic has managed in several countries including China, Greece, Vietnam, Kazakhstan and Uruguay.
But much of his success has come closer to home, winning four trophies with Red Star including the Serbia and Montenegro league and cup double in 1995.
The veteran also won the Bulgarian Championship with Levski Sofia in 2001 before lifting the Bulgarian Cup with Litex Lovech three years later.
A year prior he won the Chinese FA Cup with Beijing Guoan.
Petrovic then had to wait several years for his next taste of silverware, which came when he won the Rwanda National Football League with APR FC in 2014, and then again in 2018.
