After starting out at modest NK Maribor, Janković moved to country giants Red Star Belgrade, being an important member as the capital side won two leagues and as many cups – he also missed the entire 1982–83 season due to injury.
Aged 27, in late January 1987, Janković was allowed to leave his country, joining La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid, and being a starter in most of his first full season, teaming up in midfield with Rafael Gordillo, Míchel and Rafael Martín Vázquez in support of strikers Emilio Butragueño and Hugo Sánchez, as the Merengues won the league with 95 goals scored.
Janković closed out his career in 1990 at the age of 30, after two seasons with R.S.C. Anderlecht in Belgium.
Janković won 12 caps for Yugoslavia in three years, but did not attend any major international tournament. He scored on his debut, a 2–4 friendly loss with Brazil, on 30 April 1986.
In the 2000s, Janković coached the Tonga national football team.
The year after retiring, Janković emigrated to Australia, settling down in far North Queensland with his Cairns-born wife.[1] There, he played some Futsal with Kunzi.
