 were brought in to help clinch the championship. They started the season well with two wins and two draws in their first four games, but the next ten matches brought mixed results. The season turned out to be a big disappointment and Velež eventually finished 8th. The 1971-72 season was a bit better than the previous with the team finishing 6th. The only positive dvelopments that year were that the goalkeeper Enver Marić had become the first-choice goalkeeper for the national team, and that the young left winger Momčilo Vukoje (brought in from Leotar) and Ahmed Glavović had a string of good performances. The team was very young at that time, players' average age was 23–24 years, so their best years were yet to come.

The season 1972-73 was Velež's best ever with the team finishing as runners-up in the league. With two new players, Vahid Halilhodžić

The five attacking players were Jadranko Topić on the right wing, Momčilo Vukoje on the left wing, Franjo Vladić and Vahid Halilhodžić in the middle and the team's leading goalscorer Dušan Bajević up front.
