Milan Milanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Милановић[2]; March 31, 1991) is a Serbian professional footballer, currently contracted with Italian Serie A club Siena, on loan from Palermo.

Career

After youth football experiences in his homeland of Serbia, Milanović moved to Russia to join Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008. In 2009 he was voted by the fans as the best player of Lokomotiv youth team,[3] and made his professional debut in 2010 with Russian Second Division feeder club FC Lokomotiv-2 Moscow.[1]

In early 2011, after being released by Lokomotiv Moscow, Milanović agreed to join Serie A club Palermo; as the club had no more available spots for a non-EU signing from abroad, Milanović's signing could not however be officially formalized before the summer. In July 2011 he was officially included in the first team squad of Palermo, and was awarded the #15 jersey.[1]

On 31 August 2011 he moved on loan to Siena.[4]
