Serbian coach Orlic passes away



Serbia's legendary waterpolo coach Vlaho Orlic, who won six European club titles with Partizan Belgrade, has died at age of 76, the national waterpolo association said on Thursday.

Orlic, who also trained and won national titles with Red Star Belgrade and Becej, was coach of the Yugoslav national team between 1996 and 2000.

States that emerged from the former Yugoslavia and neighbouring Hungary have been among the world's leading water polo teams for many years.
