Sini\u0161a Mihajlovi\u0107 (Serbian Cyrillic: \u0421\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0448\u0430 \u041c\u0438\u0445\u0430\u0458\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0438\u045b, pronounced [s\u01d0ni\u0283a mix\u01ce\u02d0jlo\u028bit\u0255]; 20 February 1969 \u2013 16 December 2022) was a Serbian football manager and professional footballer who played as a defender.\n

Mihajlovi\u0107 had an illustrious playing career, winning the European Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1991 before moving to Italy, making 353 appearances for Serie A sides Roma, Sampdoria, Lazio and Inter Milan and winning league titles with the latter two clubs. Considered by many to be among the best free kick takers of all time,^{[nb 1]} he holds the all-time record in Serie A for most goals from free kicks with 28 goals. He won 63 caps and scored 10 goals for Yugoslavia from 1991 to 2003, of which his first four caps in 1991 represented SFR Yugoslavia, and played in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000 tournaments.\n

Mihajlovi\u0107 retired from playing in 2006, becoming assistant manager at Inter. He managed six Serie A clubs from 2008 to 2022, starting and finishing with Bologna and also including Fiorentina, Torino and AC Milan. He was the coach of the Serbia national team from May 2012 to November 2013. He was diagnosed with leukemia in 2019 and died from the disease in 2022.\n
