Josip “Jole” Musa

1931 – 2000

About

Josip Jole Musa was born in 1931. His professional career began in the company "Parkovi". At that time, Mostar was synonymous with cleanliness and a city full of flowers. Nevertheless, his dizzying success happened in the Aluminum Combine, which set standards in his time and raised the level of production to a high level. Aluminij was one of the biggest economic giants in Yugoslavia at the time. His great, greatest love was "Rođeni", where he once trained. He was the president of the club when it won the second Marshal Tito Cup in 1986, and at that time Velež was one of the best clubs in Yugoslavia. He then organized the team's welcome in Mostar, which remained in everyone's memory. An unprecedented euphoria reigned over the city. The extent of his love for the club was best explained by Jole himself, recalling an anecdote related to the Cup final in 1986: "Then they should have arrested me. Do you understand, ten thousand people are going to Partizan's stadium. It was necessary to provide everyone with a scarf, a T-shirt and a sandwich. I rent a train. But how, the club has no money, and I am the president of Velež. I am writing a letter to the President of the Municipal Assembly to give money. I am the president of the municipal assembly. There is no money and no municipalities. Who has? Aluminum! I, the president of the municipal assembly, am writing to the director of Aluminij, the strongest company in Herzegovina, to give money. I am the director of Aluminij! And money is found!" Josip Jole Musa was buried at the Sutina City Cemetery in Mostar.
