Nestor El Maestro (born Nestor Jevtić, Serbian Cyrillic: Нестор Јевтић; on 25 March 1983) is a Serbian football manager.
Born into a Serbian family that emigrated to West Sussex, England when El Maestro was eight years old, he changed his surname from JevtićtoEl Maestro at the age of 18. He had changed it once before in his teenage years, due to himself identifying as solely British and in an attempt to distance himself from his Serbian descent because of his native country's role in the Yugoslav Wars.[1]
In May 2017, El Maestro signed a 2−year contract with Slovak club Spartak Trnava, taking over as their manager from the new season.[2] In his first season as a manager, he led them to a historic league title for the first time in 45 years.
In June 2018, he signed a contract with Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia.[3] He was sacked in February 2019, despite reaching 45 points after 20 games in the Parva Liga.
On 12 June 2019, it was announced that El Maestro has signed a 2–year contract with the Austrian side SK Sturm Graz.[4] He was sacked on 25 June 2020 after a series of seven losses in eight games.[5] During the 29 games under El Maestro's tenure, the team reached a disappointing 37 points.
On 12 March 2021, he was appointed as the manager of Saudi Pro League club Al-Taawoun.[6] On 22 August 2021, he was sacked by Al-Taawoun.[7]
On 8 September 2021, Süper Lig side Göztepe S.K. announced agreement with El Maestro, which was contracted on 2 seasons.[8] After 6 defeats in a row, he was sacked on 7 March 2022 after only 6 months.
On 29 July 2023, El Maestro was reappointed as manager of First League club CSKA Sofia, taking over from Saša Ilić.[9] He was sacked on 14th April 2024 and was replaced by Stamen Belchev.
