Sreten Sretenović (Serbian Cyrillic: Cpeтeн Cpeтeнoвић; born February 15, 1985 in Čačak, Moravica, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) is a Serbian footballer who plays for Olimpija Ljubljana as a central defender.

Club career

Sretenović began his career at FK Rad where he quickly came into prominence, his big size assuring him a starting eleven spot, as the Belgrade club suffered relegation in his first season in the first division.

After the 2006–07 campaign, the first since the separation of Serbia and Montenegro, with Rad failing to return to the topflight, he stated his desire to play in western Europe and, on 29 June 2007, was signed by Portugal's Sport Lisboa e Benfica. However, he was quickly discarded by the man who required his services, Fernando Santos. With Santos' sacking after the first matchday in 2007–08 and the subsequent replacement with José Antonio Camacho, Sretenović remained in Benfica's payroll, having been loaned to Polish first division side Zagłębie Lubin for that season.

In June 2008, Sretenović was transferred to FC Timişoara in the Romanian top flight. However, on 20 February 2009, he was purchased by Russia's FC Kuban Krasnodar, for the start of the 2009 campaign.

On January 31, 2011, Sretenović signed for NK Olimpija Ljubljana. His contract expires at the end of the 2011/2012 season.[1]
