Zambia Football Coach Micho Out On Bail After Arrest

Zambia national team head coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has been released on bail after he was arrested in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on allegations of sexual assault.

The 50-year-old Serbian appeared at New Brighton Magistrate’s Court where he was reportedly released on a R1500 bail.

According to the National Prosecuting Authority, Micho will make his second appearance in court on 25 February 2021.

“Zambian national football team coach, Milutin Sredojevic (51), appeared at the New Brighton Magistrate’s Court on sexual assault charges earlier today,” read a statement from the National Prosecuting Authority.

“It is alleged that earlier this week on Monday 07 December, during the COSAFA Games in Port Elizabeth, a 39-year-old woman was delivering coffee at the Wolfson Stadium when she asked Sredojevic if he would need sugar with his coffee.

“He allegedly said no and disclosed that he needed another type of sugar while pointing at her private parts. It is alleged that the lady complained to her boss, who in turn warned Sredojevic not to do it again.

“Later on that day, the lady went to deliver coffee again at same stadium and this time Sredojevic allegedly touched her buttocks.

“He was granted R10,000 bail and his next court appearance will be on 25 February 2021.”

This is the second time Micho is being accused of sexual assault in South Africa.

In April 2019, a woman opened a case against Sredojevic at the Norwood police station following the incident that allegedly happened at Protea Hotel Wanderers in Illovo, Johannesburg.

Police documents alleged that the 51-year-old cleaner was cleaning a toilet at about 6am when the coach allegedly asked to have sex with her.

It’s reported that he was trying to undress his track pants and she screamed, including opening the door for her escape from the perpetrator.
