Velibor "Bora" Milutinović (Serbian Cyrillic: Велибор "Бора" Милутиновић) (born September 7, 1944 in Bajina Bašta, Serbia, DF Yugoslavia) is a Serbian football coach, and the only person to have coached five different teams at the World Cup: Mexico (1986), Costa Rica (1990), the United States (1994), Nigeria (1998), and China (2002). He is also the first coach to take four different teams beyond the first round, before failing to do so with China, henceforth earning the nickname of Miracle Worker[1], first given to him by Alan Rothenberg, then president of the United States Soccer Federation[2]. In the summer of 2003, Milutinović was in serious negotiations to finally take over the national team at his native Serbia-Montenegro. Despite heavy, month-long persuasion from Serbian football officials, Milutinović turned down the offer and soon signed on to the Honduras national team. He led the team to the first round of CONCACAF qualifiers before resigning on June 30, 2004. He cited "the prevailing bad atmosphere, created by comments made by the country's managers, officials and press" as the reason for his leaving during World Cup qualifying. Milutinović's coaching career at club level has not been nearly as illustrious. He coached the MetroStars of Major League Soccer to the worst record in league history in 1999. He also had a brief stint in Qatar league as well as nine matches with Udinese Calcio of Italian Serie B in 1987. Milutinović is married to a Mexican national and became a Mexican citizen. On November 16, 2006, he was announced as head coach of Jamaica. He continues to be a supporter of the Chinese national team, and keeps a blog on the Chinese Sina.com website. On November 9, 2007, following a string of six consecutive friendly defeats he was fired by Jamaican FA.
