Branislav „Branko“ Stanković (serbisch-kyrillisch Бранислав „Бранко“ Станковић, * 31. Oktober 1921 in Sarajevo; † 20. Februar 2002 in Belgrad) war ein jugoslawischer Fußballspieler und -trainer. Sowohl als Spieler wie auch als Trainer zählt er zu den wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten von Roter Stern Belgrad im Speziellen und für den jugoslawischen Fußball im Allgemeinen.[1][2] So wurde er mit Roter Stern als Spieler vier Mal und als Trainer zwei Mal nationaler Meister. Zudem führte er den Verein in der Saison 1978/79 bis ins Finale des UEFA-Pokals. Aufgrund seiner Spielweise, die in jugoslawischen Fußballkreisen als „elegant“ und „überlegen“ bezeichnet wurde, wurde er zu Spielerzeiten von Fans und Teamkollegen Ambassador („Botschafter“ oder „Konsul“) genannt.[1][2] Ein weiterer Spitzname war Stane, der sich aus seinem Nachnamen ableitete.[1] Er arbeitete einen Teil seiner Trainerkarriere in der Türkei und führte während dieser Zeit sowohl Fenerbahçe Istanbul als auch Beşiktaş Istanbul zur Türkischen Meisterschaft und ist damit nach Tomislav Kaloperović der zweite Trainer, der mit zwei unterschiedlichen Mannschaften diesen Titel holen konnte. Zudem gelang es ihm, nahezu alle Wettbewerbe im türkischen Fußball zu gewinnen. Als Trainer war er aufgrund seines strengen und autoritären Stils bekannt und gefürchtet. Deswegen wurde er in seiner jugoslawischen Heimat und später auch in der Türkei als „Diktator des Fußballs“ bekannt.[3]
