Vuk Rašović, the current manager of Saudi Arabian club Al Taawoun, has signed the Appeal to Save Partizan initiative. The former Partizan player and coach publicly criticized the Belgrade club's leadership in conjunction with his support for the appeal. According to reports, Rašović took issue with how the administration characterized the motives of former players involved in the dispute, alleging that their concerns were dismissed as personal power struggles rather than legitimate institutional issues.

Rašović possesses significant historical ties to Partizan both on and off the pitch. As a player, he won three championship titles and two national cups with the club. He later transitioned to management and secured a league title with Partizan as head coach in 2013. These achievements establish his longstanding association with the organization prior to his current role abroad.

The coach has spent the last ten years working outside Serbia and has won trophies in Arab football during that period. He currently manages Al Taawoun in the Saudi Pro League. His endorsement of the appeal comes from the perspective of a successful expatriate coach who maintains strong connections to his former club despite a decade-long absence from Serbian domestic football.

The Appeal to Save Partizan represents a collective effort by stakeholders concerned about the club's direction. Rašović’s participation adds the voice of an active foreign-based manager to the initiative. His criticism specifically targets the leadership's alleged portrayal of dissenting former players, suggesting a disagreement over how internal disputes are being framed by those currently in charge at the club.
