Vladimir Ivić (born 7 May 1977) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a midfielder for PAOK. He is the younger brother of Ilija Ivić, ex Red Star player and sports director.

Ivić usually plays in midfield either as a defensive midfielder or as an attacking one. His main strengths are his accurate passing, heading, tactical awareness and good control of the ball. His obvious lack of speed though, has prevented him from establishing himself in a more demanding European league, so he has spent most of his career in Serbia and Greece.

Club career

On club level Ivić currently plays for PAOK in the Greek league, having signed from city rival Aris on a free transfer. Although his ex club Aris made the same bid for him, he preferred PAOK, because of their manager Fernando Santos. He played in AEK Athens before going to Aris but fell in disfavour on the then manager Llorenç Serra Ferrer and was released. Ivić also played for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Partizan Belgrade in which helped them secure Yugoslav league in 1999 and 2002, the Yugoslav cup in 2001 and the Serbian league in 2003.

International career

He made his international debut for the Serbia and Montenegro national team's against Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team in 2001. He has been capped over 32 times but he was not selected for the 2006 World Cup and has not been recalled since.
