Milan 'Lola' Smiljanić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан 'Лола' Смиљанић; born 19 November 1986) is a Serbian footballer who plays for Serbian SuperLiga club Partizan, as a midfielder.

Early life

Smiljanić was born in Kalmar, Sweden, as his father Branko, who was also a professional footballer, was playing for Kalmar AIK FK at the time.

Club career

Smiljanić subsequently returned to Serbia from Sweden and joined FK Partizan youth ranks. Under head coach Vladimir Vermezović, he made his debut for the first team in a league match against FK Sutjeska Nikšić, during the second part of 2004–05. He also spent some time playing for FK Teleoptik, the farm team. In little more than two professional seasons, he amassed more than 50 official appearances with Partizan, and eventually gained club captaincy despite his age.

Espanyol

On 18 July 2007, Spain's RCD Espanyol agreed with Partizan for the transfer of Smiljanić for an undisclosed fee, in a five-year contract.[1] He made his La Liga debut against Real Valladolid on 26 August, in a 1–0 home loss;[2] most of his first two seasons in Catalonia were spent mainly appearing from the bench, even though one of his main competitors in the team, Iván de la Peña, was often injured.

After the club's initial unsuccessful attempts to loan him out for 2009–10, Smiljanić spent the first months of the new campaign only training, not having been given any squad number. However, such a move was arranged in late January 2010, as he joined Sporting de Gijón until June.

Partizan

In the summer of 2010, Smiljanić was loaned to his former club Partizan.[3] After his loan expired, he returned to Spain and agreed the contract termination with the Barcelona-based club.[4] On 16 August 2011, he signed a permanent contract with Partizan, penning a two-year deal.[5]

Gençlerbirliği

On May 29, 2013, it was announced that Gençlerbirliği's club president held successful negotiations with Smiljanić to come to the club on a free transfer since his contract with Partizan expired.[6]

International career

After the 2006–07 season, Smiljanić was called up by Serbia's U-21 coach Miroslav Đukić to be part of his squad for the 2007 European Championships; he helped the national side finish runner-up to hosts Holland.

He made his international debut for the full squad on 22 August 2007, in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match in Brussels against Belgium, a 3–2 loss.

In July 2008, Smiljanić was picked to the 18-man squad for the 2008 Summer Olympics, with Đukić again as manager. Serbia ranked last in its group. Next year, he appeared in the 2009 European Under-21 Championship, as captain, but could not help repeat the previous edition's feat, as the nation did not progress through the group stages in his country of birth, Sweden.[7]
