Goran Bogdanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Богдановић; born 27 April 1967) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He was noted for his technical ability and dribbling skills, especially his step-overs.[1][2][3][4]

Club career

[edit]

After starting out at his hometown club Smederevo, Bogdanović was acquired by Partizan as a teenager in 1985. He would go on to win back-to-back championships with the Crno-beli in 1986 and 1987. After completing his compulsory military service in the 1988–89 season, Bogdanović established himself as one of the team's most regular players, helping Partizan win the only edition of the Yugoslav Super Cup (1989) and one Yugoslav Cup (1992).[5]

In February 1993, Bogdanović moved abroad to Spain and signed with Segunda División side Mallorca. He spent two and a half years with the Bermellones, before transferring to La Liga side Espanyol in the summer of 1995. In his debut season with the Periquitos, Bogdanović scored five league goals in 24 appearances, as the club finished in fourth place. He later lost his place in the team, before switching to Extremadura in early 1998, helping them win promotion to the top flight.

In January 2000, Bogdanović returned to his parent club Sartid Smederevo.[6] He helped the side to a fourth-place finish in the 2000–01 season, as the club qualified for European football for the first time in history and earned a spot in the UEFA Intertoto Cup. The following year, Bogdanović led the Oklopnici as captain to a highest-ever third-place finish to secure a spot in the UEFA Cup. He also helped them win the Serbia and Montenegro Cup in May 2003,[7] clinching their first major trophy. At the end of the 2003–04 season, Bogdanović retired from professional football.[8] He ended his career with a farewell exhibition game between his former clubs Smederevo and Partizan on 31 July 2004.[9]

International career

[edit]

At international level, Bogdanović was capped once for Yugoslavia B in a 2–1 loss to England B at The Den on 12 December 1989.[10]

Post-playing career

[edit]

Just weeks after hanging up his boots, Bogdanović was appointed as sporting director at his parent club Smederevo.[11][12] He remained in charge until August 2012, before leaving the club following a disagreement with the newly appointed board.[13]
