Boban Dmitrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Бобан Дмитровић; born 2 April 1972) is a Serbian football manager and former player.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Konarevo, a village near Kraljevo, Dmitrović started out at local club Budućnost Konarevo, before joining Sloga Kraljevo. He made his First League of FR Yugoslavia debut with Rad in the 1993–94 season. In the summer of 1996, Dmitrović moved to Austria to play for Grazer AK. He spent seven seasons with the club, making 198 appearances and scoring 12 goals in the Austrian Bundesliga. In May 2003, Dmitrović signed with GAK's crosstown rivals Sturm Graz, penning a two-year contract.[1] He ended up playing 52 league games for the club.[2]

In the summer of 2005, Dmitrović returned to his homeland and signed with Borac Čačak. He led them as captain to a fourth-place finish in the 2007–08 season, as the club gained a spot in UEFA competitions for the first time in history. In early 2011, after a dispute with the club's management, Dmitrović left the team after almost six years and 155 matches played in the top flight.

In the summer of 2011, Dmitrović returned to Sloga Kraljevo after almost two decades, following the club's promotion to the Serbian First League. He retired from professional football in the summer of 2012.

International career

[edit]

In June 2001, Dmitrović made his national team debut in a 1–1 draw against Russia, aged 29.[3] He was capped 13 times for Serbia and Montenegro between 2001 and 2003, under the managerial reign of Dejan Savićević.[4]

Managerial career

[edit]

After serving as an assistant to Peter Pacult, Ivan Jević and Milan Đuričić, Dmitrović was appointed manager of Radnički Niš in January 2018. He left the position just two months later after suffering two consecutive losses.[5]

Personal life

[edit]

Dmitrović is the father of fellow footballer Filip Dmitrović.[6]
