He played for Red Star against Manchester United in the last game United had played before the Munich Air Disaster. Beara ended his career in Germans clubs Alemannia Aachen (1960–62) and Viktoria Köln (1963–65).While he was playing he was best in the world.

For Yugoslav national team, between 1950 and 1960, he played 60 games. Immediately after being selected to play for the Yugoslav national team he became famous mostly due to his fabulous defences in the match against England at the Highbury Arsenal Stadium. Since then he was often called by his nickname “Big Vlad”. Beara participated in 1952 Olympic Games, and won the silver medal. He played on three World Cups; World Cup 1950, World Cup 1954 and World Cup 1958.

In 1967 Beara finished school in Köln, and began his career as football manager.
