Dušan "Luks" Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Душан "Лукс" Mapкoвић; 9 March 1906 – 29 November 1974) was a Serbian football player and football manager.
He was described by local press as a great, cleaver and effective striker. Anecdotally, his killer instinct was specially awake every time he played against BSK Belgrade, the best pre-war Serbian club, having scored at least once in every match he played against them. He was especially dangerous because he had the ability to shoot and surprise the goalkeepers from any angle.
Playing career
Club
He spent most of his career with FK Vojvodina where he played for 14 years, between 1921 until 1935 being one of their most influential players of the pre-war period. Afterward, he had short spells with BSK Belgrade and French club Grenoble.
International
He was part of the Yugoslavia national football team for some period, but he only played one match, as a substitute of the famous striker Blagoje Marjanović in a friendly match played on 9 October 1932, in Prague, against Czechoslovakia, a 2–1 win. He was part of the Yugoslav team at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, but didn't play any match.
Managerial career
After retiring, he remained linked to football as a manager, having coached some clubs in Yugoslavia. He coached Gragjanski Skopje in the 1938–39 Yugoslav Football Championship and Željezničar between 1939 and 1941.
Personal life
Death
He died in 1974, in the aftermath of a prostate surgery.
