Miranović was born in Feketić, Vojvodina, Serbia, Yugoslavia. Miranović started playing football in his hometown, before joining Vojvodina's youth system. He later went on to spend 11 seasons with Spartak Subotica, making his Yugoslav First League debut in the 1986–87 campaign, before going abroad. After playing for two years with SV Spittal in Austria, Miranović moved to Ecuador and played for Valdez, before retiring from the game.
During his managerial career, Miranović worked at numerous South American clubs, including Olmedo (four times), Deportivo Quito, El Nacional, Atlético Junior and Aucas (each twice), as well as Barcelona SC, Independiente Santa Fe, Millonarios and Deportivo Cuenca. He also led Peru at the 1995 South American U-20 Championship.
On 19 March 2012, Miranović died in Quito of a heart attack at the age of 55.[1][2] A number of his former players expressed their sympathy and condolences to the family and friends, including Antonio Valencia and Claudio Pizarro.[3][4]
