After that he played for six months for Greek side Olympiacos before retiring.
International career
During his spell at Partizan, he earned four caps for Yugoslavia.[1] He was one of two Slovenian players that earned caps with Yugoslavia after Slovenian independence (the other was Darko Milanič) because he wasn't allowed to leave Belgrade during the war. He was also capped 71 times and scored three goals for Slovenia.[2] He was a participant at Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup.
