Nebojša Krupniković (Serbian Cyrillic: Небојша Крупниковић; born 15 August 1973) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Arilje, Krupniković started out at Red Star Belgrade, making his first senior appearances during the 1991–92 season. He went on loan to Greek club Panionios in 1993–94 in what would be his breakthrough season. After returning from loan, Krupniković established himself as the team's leader, helping them win the double in 1994–95. He was also instrumental in winning another national cup the following year.

In the summer of 1996, Krupniković was transferred abroad to Belgian side Standard Liège. He left the club over the next winter and went to Asia by signing with Japanese side Gamba Osaka. After spending two seasons in the Far East, Krupniković returned to Europe and joined French club Bastia in early 1999.

Between 1999 and 2008, Krupniković played for four clubs in Germany, aside from one year with JEF United Chiba in Japan. He is best remembered for his time at Hannover 96,[1][2] helping them win promotion to the Bundesliga in 2002.[3]

International career

[edit]

Despite enjoying success at club level, Krupniković failed to make his international debut for Serbia and Montenegro (previously known as FR Yugoslavia). He was only capped for Yugoslavia at youth level.[4]
