Return to Red Star Belgrade edit

After five years of playing professional football in Poland and Russia, before which Mijailović played for Red Star, Red Star Belgrade was looking to bring back veterans from across borders. On 26 June 2013 Mijailović signed for Red Star Belgrade on a one-year contract. In 2015, he got suspended because of anonymous mails to Red Star Belgrade, in every letter first pasus formed this name – "Nikola Džoni" which is his nickname.[1]
