St. Louis Steamers News Release
ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Steamers Chief Executive Officer Michael Hetelson announced today that the Steamers have named Zoran Savic Team President for the St. Louis Steamers.
Savic has been the Head Coach for the Kansas City professional indoor soccer franchise for the past 11 seasons. He also served as the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for the Comets. Since 1997, his duties included running and having authority over the business and soccer operations of the Comets. Savic came to the United States over 20 years ago from Gornijo Millanovic, Yugoslavia.
"Zoran has a lot of enthusiasm and passion for the sport but he also has a lot of successful business experience which will help lead our organization," said Steamers CEO Michael Hetelson. "The Steamers still face many challenges as we continue with our mission of building a stable franchise in St. Louis that will be successful on and off the field. In the Steamers heyday, they were one of the top indoor teams in America across any sport and a few years ago they were probably the worst. Zoran is the kind of guy that will lead us back to those glory days."
His career began in the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980 with the Buffalo Stallions and followed with the Kansas City Comets (1981), Los Angeles Lazers, Louisville Thunder, and the Kansas City Attack. After numerous seasons as a player, Savic took the role of coach and led the Kansas City Attack to the 1992-93 NPSL Championship in his first year.
Savic was the first member of the NPSL to win championships as a player (1987), coach (1993) and general manager (1997).
"I won championships as a player, coach and general manager and I am looking forward to winning one as a president, said Savic.
He serves on the MISL Rules and Competition Committee. Zoran and his wife Scottie are parents of a son and daughter.
