FR Yugoslav First League
Born in Zvornik, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milenko Milošević played his early career in Serbia with FK Loznica from where he moved to Red Star Belgrade. After playing in Belgrade two seasons, he moved to another First League of FR Yugoslavia side, FK Sutjeska Nikšić.
Career in Belgium
Searching for a defensive midfielder, Belgian First division side Excelsior Mouscron offered Milošević a trial in 2003. During this trial however, Mouscron signed Algerian international Samir Beloufa for the position of defensive midfielder, making it no longer useful for Mouscron to sign Milosevic. Georges Leekens, the Mouscron coach at that time, recommended Milošević to his former team Cercle Brugge, who had just promoted and were interested in any improvement for the squad. Milošević signed a contract a little later.
His contract with Cercle ended in 2008 and was not renewed. He signed for West Flanders Division One side BS Poperinge, where he met his former Cercle manager Jerko Tipurić. Poperinge became champions and will play in the lowest nationwide league next season.
National team
Milošević has also played for the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, winning 1-2 in a match against Luxembourg in 2004.
After finishing his playing career
By early 2011, after FK Drina Zvornik coach Darko Vojvodić resigned, Milenko Milošević along with Svetozar Vukašinović took charge of the team in their Bosnian Premier League match against FK Olimpic and stayed as team coaches until Dragan Mićić got appointed at March 25, 2011.
