Zambian football coach Milutin Sredojević, better known as Micho, has been released on bail of 10,000 rand after appearing in court in a sexual assault case.
The 51-year-old, who previously trained the Orlando Pirates and several other African nations, appeared in New Brighton magistrates court in Port Elizabeth on Friday morning, the National Tax Authority (NPA) said.
According to a statement from NPA, Sredojević was attending a Cosafa soccer tournament at Wolfson Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Monday when a woman delivering coffee asked if the coach would like sugar with his drink.
“He allegedly said no and revealed that he needed another type of sugar while pointing out his private parts,” said Anelisa Ngcakani of the NPA.
The woman later complained to her boss, who warned Sredojević not do it again.
“Later that day, the lady went to deliver coffee again to the same stadium and this time Sredojević supposedly touched her buttocks, ”Ngcakani said.
Then a case was opened.
The court granted Sredojević Bail of 10,000 rand, and ordered him to appear again in court on 25 February next year.
this is not the first time Sredojević has been charged with sexual assault. In August 2019, a Johannesburg woman, who works as a cleaner at Protea Hotel Wanderers in Illovo, accused the coach of exposing herself to her.
In a statement made to the police, the woman alleged that Sredojević indecently exposed himself to her. She told police the former Buccaneers coach asked her to “give him two minutes.”
Apparently the woman was in a hallway next to the bathrooms that she was cleaning. She said Sredojević walked by and greeted her before entering the men’s room.
After that I went into the disabled toilets; And when I looked back and realized he was looking at me I went in and kept cleaning. While cleaning I heard the door open and when I looked up I saw that it was the same Orlando Pirates Coach. Then he closed the door, “reads his statement.
“He held up his sweatpants and said he was supposed to hit her for just two minutes. I did not understand and I asked him what he meant and he said again that I should give it for two minutes. He was stripping off his sweatpants … and then I screamed, said ‘no’ and ran out of the bathroom. “
