  Predrag Mijatović - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Predrag Peđa Mijatović (Cyrillic: Предраг Мијатовић) (born January 19, 1969 in Podgorica, Montenegro) is a former football player and current sports director of Real Madrid.
After going out in Champions League quarterfinals to Shevchenko-led Dynamo Kyiv (incidentaly, 2 matches where Mijatovic played some excellent football) and failing to win the league for the second season in a row, changes were clearly in order especially knowing the triggerhappy nature of Real brass.
The management decided that the best days of now 30-year-old Mijatovic were behind him and sold him to Fiorentina at the end of the season.
