Miloš Šestić (; born 8 August 1956) is a former Yugoslav and Serbian professional footballer who played as a forward.
Early life Born in Milosavci, a village near the Bosnian city of Laktaši, he grew up in Stara Pazova, a town in Serbia, making his first football steps at the local club Jedinstvo.
Club career After joining the youth system of Red Star Belgrade, Šestić made his senior debut in late April 1974 (away against Olimpija Ljubljana and at home versus Čelik Zenica). He spent the following 10 years at the club, winning four Yugoslav First League titles (1977, 1980, 1981, and 1984) and one Yugoslav Cup (1982). In the winter of 1985, Šestić moved abroad to Greek club Olympiacos, spending the next two years in Athens. He subsequently returned to his homeland and joined Vojvodina. After helping them win the Yugoslav Second League in 1987, Šestić eventually won the national championship with Vojvodina in the 1988–89 season.
International career At international level, Šestić was a member of the Yugoslavia national team at one European Championship (1984) and one World Cup (1982). He also represented his country at one Olympic Games (1980) and one Mediterranean Games (1979), winning the gold medal at the latter tournament.
Šestić was critical of his team's role at the UEFA Euro 1984, commenting:
Šestić earned a total of 21 caps, scoring 2 goals and his final international was an April 1985 World Cup qualification match against then reigning European champions France.
