Vojin Lazarević ({{Lang-sr-Cyrl|Војин Лазаревић}}; born 22 February 1942) is a former Yugoslav and Montenegrin football manager and player.
Club career
A prolific striker, Lazarević started out at his hometown club Sutjeska Nikšić. He was the Yugoslav Second League (Group East) top scorer on three occasions, before moving to Red Star Belgrade in 1966. Over the next four seasons, Lazarević scored 68 goals in 112 appearances in the Yugoslav First League, helping the club win three consecutive championships (1968, 1969, and 1970). He subsequently moved abroad, spending some time at RFC Liège (Belgium) and Nancy (France), before returning to Red Star in 1972. During his second spell in Belgrade, Lazarević was the league's joint top scorer in the 1972–73 season with 25 goals, as the club won the title. He moved abroad again in 1974, this time to Canada, and joined the Toronto Metros.{{Cite web | url=https://www.nasljerseys.com/Players/L/Lazaravic.Vojin.htm | title=Vojin Lazarević | publisher=nasljerseys.com | access-date=10 January 2024}} Shortly after, Lazarević returned to his homeland and played one season with Vrbas,{{Cite web | url=http://fkvrbas.weebly.com/fk-vrbas-statistika-odigranih-utakmica-i-datih-golova-za-sezone-1969-2007.html | title=Statistika odigranih prvenstvenih utakmica i datih golova za FK Vrbas 1969-2007 | language=sr | publisher=fkvrbas.weebly.com | access-date=30 September 2016}} before retiring from the game.
