Ane Mihailovich is a former U.S.-Yugoslavian soccer forward. He spent at least one season in the American Soccer League and four in the North American Soccer League. He also earned five caps with the U.S. national team in 1977.

Club career

Mihailovich spent the 1973 and 1974 seasons with the Cleveland Stars in the American Soccer League (ASL). In 1976, Mihailovich signed with the expansion Los Angeles Skyhawks. The Skyhawks went to the ASL title game where the game was tied 1-1 until the Skyhawks’ Steve Ralbovsky was tripped in the penalty area. Mihailovich scored the penalty and won the game.

In 1977, Mihailovich jumped the first division Los Angeles Aztecs of the North American Soccer League (NASL). The Aztecs traded him to the Washington Diplomats six games into the 1978 season. At the end of the 1979 season, the Dips sent Mihailovich to the San Jose Earthquakes for the 1980 season, his last in the NASL. While Mihailovich had played as a forward with the Skyhawks, he moved between the midfield and defense in the NASL.

National team

He also earned five caps with the U.S. national team in 1977. His first cap was a 3-1 loss to Guatemala on September 18, 1977. His last cap came less than a month later in a 1-0 win over China on October 10, 1977. ^{[http://www.soccerhall.org/history/MNTAlltime_1960-79.htm]}
