Career
Born in Serbia, he began his career there and later moved to Hong Kong. As a youth, Dragutin Stević-Ranković played with FK Kolubara in his hometown of Lazarevac, Serbia. He then worked his way up the ladder in Serbian professional football, making stops at FK Polet Mirosaljci, FK Loznica, FK Čukarički Stankom, FK BSK Borča and OFK Mladenovac.
In 2005, Stević-Ranković signed a contract with Kitchee South Carolina of the Hong Kong First Division.
In 2006, Dragutin moved to Rangers (HKG). While there, he had perhaps his finest match as a professional football player in Hong Kong, scoring three goals against Citizen Associate of Arts on 11 May 2006.
Unfortunately, his time with the club was cut short by a left knee injury sustained in a game on 15 October 2006. The injury was serious.
Despite two operations, he had to retire from playing professional football.
He is now a well sought after youth coach in Hong Kong. He has coached the European Social Fund LIONS for numerous years, as well as coaching the Young Men’s Christian Association of Hong Kong Christian College football team since 2009.
