In his country, Stanković played for OFK Beograd, FK Zemun and Red Star Belgrade. At age 28, in January 1997, he moved abroad, signing with Spanish club Hércules CF, in Alicante.
On 5 January, Stanković made his La Liga debut, in a home match against Sporting de Gijón (1–1), and managed to appear regularly until the end of the season, but saw his club be relegated. He also joined compatriot Josip Višnjić at the club.
In 1999, Stanković and Hércules suffered another relegation, now to the third division. He then signed with CP Mérida, but the club folded soon after, immerse in a deep financial crisis, and the player retired, at 32.
After retiring, Stanković settled in Spain, and became a player's agent. In February 2009 he, alongside Rayo Vallecano footballer Carlos de la Vega, was arrested in connection with an anti-drug operation in Madrid.[1]
