Ghana international Osman Bukari has been reunited with former manager Dejan Stanković following his return to Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade, with the coach overseeing the winger’s first training session back at the club after two years away.
The reunion marks a special moment for both Bukari and Stanković, who worked together during the Ghanaian’s earlier years at Red Star. Four years after their first collaboration, the pair are set to join forces once again as the club prepares for another demanding domestic and European campaign.
Bukari recently completed his return to the Serbian giants after spells abroad, bringing him back to a familiar environment where he previously produced some of the best performances of his career. His first training session under Stanković’s supervision was a significant milestone as he begins his second chapter with the club.
The Ghana winger enjoyed a productive first spell at Red Star Belgrade, establishing himself as a key member of the squad with his pace, creativity and eye for goal. His performances helped the club maintain its dominance in Serbian football while also making an impact in European competitions.
Stanković, one of Serbia’s most respected coaches and a former midfield star for Red Star, Lazio and Inter Milan, is expected to play an important role in helping Bukari rediscover his best form. Their previous working relationship and mutual understanding could prove crucial as the winger settles back into life in Belgrade.
The reunion has been welcomed by Red Star supporters, who are hopeful that the combination of Bukari’s attacking quality and Stanković’s leadership will strengthen the team’s ambitions in both domestic competitions and the UEFA Champions League.
For Bukari, the opportunity to work once again under a coach who understands his strengths represents another positive aspect of his return. As preparations continue for the new season, the Black Stars winger will be aiming to build on their renewed partnership and contribute significantly to Red Star’s pursuit of silverware at home and success on the European stage.
