 Since Bosna didn't seem willing to let him go, by summer 1986, Danilović and Partizan decided to act unilaterally as the player moved to Belgrade knowing full well he'd have to sit out a year before taking part in official competitions.The move marked the beginning of a long friendship and professional association between Danilović and Vujošević with the twenty-eight-year-old coach initially acting as mentor to the sixteen-year-old player.By now Vujošević also moved up in the Partizan club hierarchy, becoming head coach in place of Vladislav Lučić while young Danilović trained with the first team as well as individually.
