Vladimir Kovačević (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Ковачевић, born 11 November 1992) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a centre-back for Russian club Dynamo Makhachkala.[1]

Career

[edit]

Kovačević is a product of Vojvodina youth system.

Vojvodina

[edit]

He made his professional debut for Vojvodina against Javor in May 2010, but due to extremely strong competition for two central defender positions, he never managed to make an impact at the club.

Hajduk Kula

[edit]

Kovačević was loaned to another Serbian SuperLiga side Hajduk Kula for 2010–11 season. There he didn't make an instant impact, but as the season progressed, he established himself as one of the club's top defenders. He scored his first senior goal against Red Star Belgrade in surprise 2–0 home win.[2]

Proleter Novi Sad

[edit]

After loan return from Hajduk, Kovačević spent an entire season 2011–12 trying to break into the first team, but has only made 3 league appearances. Next season he was loaned out to local Serbian First League side Proleter Novi Sad.

Spartak Subotica

[edit]

At the beginning of August 2013 Kovačević signed with Serbian SuperLiga side Spartak Subotica.[3] During his stay, Vladimir finally managed to break into the first team. In three seasons, he reached two Serbian Cup semifinals with the club(in 2013–14 and 2015–16). Kovačević was primarily used as a center-back, but was equally successful when deployed as a defensive midfielder. His above-par performances drew attention of multiple clubs, including his former club Vojvodina.

Second spell at Vojvodina

[edit]

On 1 June 2016, Kovačević re-signed for Vojvodina, on a three-year deal.[4]

Kortrijk

[edit]

After 6 months in Vojvodina, on 28 January 2017, Kovačević signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Belgian side Kortrijk.[5]

Sheriff Tiraspol

[edit]

On 20 June 2018, Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol announced they had signed Kovačević on loan from Kortrijk.[1] Kovačević left Sheriff Tiraspol a year later when his loan expired, having played 24 games and scoring three goals.[6]

Third spell at Vojvodina

[edit]

On 27 July 2020, Kovačević signed a two-year deal with Vojvodina.[7]

International career

[edit]

Kovačević made his international debut for the Serbia national team in an friendly 3–0 loss to Qatar.[8]
