Vladimir Petković (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: ; born 15 August 1963) is a Swiss football manager and former professional player who played as a midfielder. He is currently the head coach of the Switzerland national team, having previously managed a string of Swiss clubs as well as Italian side Lazio.

Petković was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1963. He is a naturalized Swiss and holds Swiss and Bosnian-Herzegovinian passports. Both of his parents worked as educational workers so they changed many schools and because of that the family moved frequently. They first lived in Vrelo Bosne and then when he was five years old, in Hadžići near Sarajevo.

A midfielder with good technique, Petković started playing football in Ilidža as an eleven-year-old before joining the youth sector of his hometown side FK Sarajevo youth as a fifteen-year-old.

He remained at FK Sarajevo and began his professional career there in the early 1980s. Petković made only a handful of appearances in a strong Sarajevo side led on the pitch by Bosnia's player, Safet Sušić. Petković was a part of the Sarajevo side that won the 1984–85 Yugoslav First League, making only two league appearances for them. His time at Sarajevo was interrupted by two brief stints elsewhere, first a successful time with Rudar Prijedor, where Petković showed a good of scoring form, and then a season in the Yugoslav Second League with NK Koper, which finished last and were relegated.
