*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
A prolific striker, Lazarević started out at his hometown club Sutjeska Nikšić. He was the Yugoslav Second League (Group East) top scorer on three occasions, before moving to Red Star Belgrade in 1966. Over the next four seasons, Lazarević scored 70 goals in 112 appearances in the Yugoslav First League, helping the club win three consecutive championships (1968, 1969, and 1970). He subsequently moved abroad and played for RFC Liège (Belgium) and Nancy (France), before returning to Red Star Belgrade in 1972. In the 1972–73 season, Lazarević was the league's joint top scorer with 25 goals, as the club won the title. He moved abroad again in 1974, this time to Canada, and joined the Toronto Metros. Shortly after, Lazarević returned to his homeland and played one season with Vrbas,[1] before retiring from the game.
Lazarević represented Yugoslavia internationally, earning five caps and scoring one goal between 1964 and 1969.
Lazarević served twice as manager of Red Star Belgrade in the late 1990s, winning two national cups.[2] He was also manager of Milicionar (2000)[3] and Sutjeska Nikšić (2001).[4]
