After making his professional debuts with local FK Budućnost Podgorica, Brnović signed with national giants FK Partizan in 1991, helping the Belgrade outfit to back-to-back national championships, with the addition of two cups. In the 1992–93 season, as Partizan won the league and lost the domestic cup to city rivals Red Star, he scored a career-best six goals (the team netted 103).
In 1994, Brnović moved abroad and joined RCD Espanyol in La Liga - then known as Español. A starter in four of his six seasons in Catalonia, he left the club after a poor individual campaign (only one game in the league), which ended with Copa del Rey conquest.
Brnović returned to active aged nearly 40, playing one season with FK Kom in his native town, now renamed Podgorica after the Montenegro independence.
Brnović represented Yugoslavia on six occasions, his debut coming on 20 September 1989, in a 3–0 friendly win with Greece in Novi Sad. He also appeared during the UEFA Euro 1992 qualfying stage as the national team qualified to Sweden, only to be suspended due to the Yugoslav Wars.
Subsequently, Brnović played for the newly formed Serbia and Montenegro, being selected for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France and appearing in three games, in an eventual round of 16 exit.[1]
On 5 March 2007, he was appointed assistant manager in the Montenegrin national team.[2] On 8 September, he became head coach after Zlatko Kranjčar was sacked, leading the side to the Euro 2012 playoffs, where it lost 0–3 on aggregate to the Czech Republic.
