Nemanja Matić (Serbian Cyrillic: Немања Матић; Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [nɛmaɲa matitɕ]; born 1 August 1988) is a Serbian footballer who plays for Benfica in Primeira Liga, as a midfielder. He also plays for the Serbian national team.[1]

His brother Uroš is also a footballer.[2]

Career

Chelsea

On 18 August 2009, Matić signed for Chelsea from Košice for a fee of around £1.5 million in a four-year contract.[3] He was given the number 24 shirt by Chelsea but wasn't able to make his debut immediately due to the injury he picked up at the 2009 under-21 championships. He was on the bench for Chelsea's League Cup match against Queens Park Rangers on 23 September 2009, but did not take any part in the 1–0 victory. Matić made his Premier League debut for Chelsea on 21 November, coming on as a substitute for Florent Malouda in the 69th minute in a 4–0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.[4]

Vitesse

On 23 August 2010, Matić transferred to Dutch Eredivisie club Vitesse on a one-year loan, together with teammates Slobodan Rajković and Matej Delač.[5]

Benfica

On 31 January 2011, Matić was transferred to Portuguese club Benfica along with €25 million (£21M) in a swap deal for Brazilian centre back David Luiz.[6] On 14 January 2013, he was awarded with a contract extension lasting until 2018, with the buyout clause set at €45 million.[7] On 4 July 2013, Matić was named Primeira Liga Best Player.[8][9]

International career

Matić's debut for the Serbia under-21 team came in a match against Denmark on 11 October 2008.[10] After three matches and two goals for the Serbia under-21 squad, he was called up to the Serbian senior squad and made his debut in a friendly against Poland on 14 December 2008 in a 1–0 loss.[11]

Matić took part in the 2009 UEFA Euro under-21 Championship, where he played 85 minutes in the first group match against Italy in a 0–0 draw. Matić, however, injured himself after contact with Italian forward Sebastian Giovinco. He broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and was forced to undergo surgery.[12]

In December 2012 Matić announced he will not play for the Serbian national team while Siniša Mihajlović is the coach. The reason he gave for this decision is that he felt he was not given the right opportunity by the coach not playing a single minute in his last five call-ups.[13] [14]
