led them to their first international title in the 2004 ASEAN Football Championship, completing a hat-trick of tournament wins with further triumphs in 2007 and 2012. After a decade in Singapore, Avramović stood down as national coach in December 2012. In February 2014, he was appointed as coach of the Myanmar national team; he stepped down from the position in 2015. He returned to Kuwait for brief spells with Al Tadhmon SC and the Kuwait national team in 2017 and 2018 respectively until returning to Singapore in 2019 to manage Home United. He was forced to retire early into his term due to a serious illness. Club career Avramović began his playing career with Yugoslav Second League club FK Borac Čačak in 1969 after discontinuing his law studies two years into university. As he disliked heading the ball, Avramović switched from playing in central defence to the goalkeeper position. He won the 1972-73 Second League East Division title with the club. In 1974, he signed for First League club HNK Rijeka where he made 119 league appearances and won the 1977–78 Yugoslav Cup. As Cup winners, Rijeka qualified for the 1978–79 Cup Winners' Cup.

After a goalless draw in the home leg, Rijeka conceded two goals in the return leg to exit the competition 2–0 on aggregate.

At the beginning of the player's career at Notts County, there was a social function at which Avramović went around and bought all his new teammates a drink as a friendly gesture. A local reporter saw this and wrote a newspaper article about Avramović being a "boozer" and a "big-time-Charlie". The next time that same reporter went to Meadow Lane, Sirrel physically caught hold of him and had him thrown off the premises and banned from the ground. The
