Dragan "Don" Popovic

I believe I was the first female coach to join Lou Fusz that Don asked if I’d bring my team to his club. He always had my back and every year had my team out to his house to share with the girls videos of players had coached in the past and just to get them pumped to play soccer for Lou Fusz. He always had my back and was so supportive and kind to my entire family and team. There was nobody more excited Dan when one of the girls on my team grandfather won parent of the year!!! Dan was such...

You were more than just a friend to me—you were a steady presence, someone I could always count on. The way you listened without judgment, your dry sense of humor, the quiet way you showed up when it mattered..those are the things I’ll carry with me. It hurts to think you’re gone, but I’m so grateful I got to know you. I’ll miss you deeply, and I’ll remember you with love.
Thanks for everything you have done for me. Your Bato

It was great getting to know you when I joined Lou Fusz S.C. During the first years & developing a special friendship on & off the pitch. I’m sure that you’re heaven organizing some “Fast Footwork” & thank you for all you did for the soccer youth in St. Louis & Blessings to your Family at this difficult time❤
