Nestor El Maestro (born Nestor Jevtić, Serbian Cyrillic: Нестор Јевтић; on 25 March 1983) is a Serbian football manager who is the head coach of Hungarian club Debreceni VSC.

Personal life

Born into a Serbian family that emigrated to West Sussex, England when El Maestro was eight years old, he changed his surname from Jevtić to El Maestro at the age of 18. He had changed it once before in his teenage years, due to himself identifying as solely British and in an attempt to distance himself from his Serbian descent because of his native country's role in the Yugoslav Wars.
