Zdenko Muf (Serbian Cyrillic: Зденко Муф; born 21 July 1971) is a Serbian football manager and former player.

Playing career

Born in Smederevska Palanka, Muf started out at his local club Mladost Goša, before moving to Radnički Beograd still as a junior. He spent five years at the club, making his First League of FR Yugoslavia debut in the 1992–93 season. Alongside his teammate Vladan Milojević, Muf moved abroad in the summer of 1993, signing with Greek club PAS Giannina.{{Cite web | url=http://www.pasgiannina.gr/history/1993_mouf | script-title=el:Αύγουστος 1993: Ο Ζντένκο Μούφ έρχεται στον ΠΑΣ Γιάννινα | language=el | publisher=pasgiannina.gr | access-date=10 May 2016}} He was the Beta Ethniki top scorer with 29 goals from 33 appearances in the 1993–94 season.{{Cite web | url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesg/grk2tops.html | title=Greece - List of Second Level Topscorers | website=RSSSF | access-date=28 April 2016}}{{Cite web | url=http://www.pasgiannina.gr/stats_total | script-title=el:Οι πρώτοι σε συμμετοχές και οι πρώτοι σκόρερ ανά έτος | language=el | publisher=pasgiannina.gr | access-date=10 May 2016}} Subsequently, together with Milojević, Muf was transferred to Kalamata, helping the club win promotion to the top flight in 1995. He made his Alpha Ethniki debut in the 1995–96 season, before being loaned out to his former club PAS Giannina.

In the summer of 1996, Muf moved to Spain and joined Segunda División side Badajoz. He failed to make an impact at the club, before moving back to Greece for a six-month spell at Panelefsiniakos. In the summer of 1997, Muf moved to Mexican side Estudiantes Tecos. He spent the following four years at the club, becoming one of the league's best foreign players. Muf also played for Club León in the Invierno 2001, before returning to Estudiantes Tecos.

In the summer of 2002, Muf returned to Greece and joined his former club PAS Giannina. He eventually left the club in the spring of 2003, as they struggled financially. After returning to his homeland, Muf subsequently decided to retire from active play due to a lack of motivation and satisfying offers. He is a real idol for the fans of PAS Giannina in Greece.

Post-playing career

After several years hiatus, Muf became manager of GFK Jasenica 1911, being in charge of the club between 2011 and 2013. He then led Mladi Radnik from July 2013 to April 2014, before returning to GFK Jasenica 1911.
