Born in Bačka Palanka,[1] SR Serbia, back then part of Yugoslavia, he began his youth career playing with FK Bačka Bačka Palanka and FK Slavija Novi Sad. He debuted as senior in 1963 playing with FK Bačka Bačka Palanka in Yugoslav Second League until the winter-break of the 1966–67 season when he was brought by one of back then dominant clubs in the region of Vojvodina, FK Proleter Zrenjanin.[1] In the season he joined Proleter, the club archived promotion to the Yugoslav First League and Dolezar played with Proleter in the Yugoslav highest level in the seasons 1967–68 and 1968–69.[1][2]
He then moved abroad and played with Paris-Neuilly, Heracles Almelo, AGOVV, Go Ahead Eagles,[3] SC Heerenveen,[4] R. Charleroi S.C., SO Cholet and US Alençon. After retiring as a footballer he became a manager and coached Neuilly-sur-Seine, SO Cholet and Béziers in France.[5] He also managed Tunisian side AS Gabès before moving to South Africa.
In 1997 and 1998, he led the Kaizer Chief's to the Rothmans Cup title. He was sacked as manager of the Chiefs in June 1999 and was appointed as manager of Sundowns in July 1999.[6]
