Nenad Brnović (Cyrillic: Ненад Брновић, born 18 January 1980) is a Montenegrin footballer who play for FK Lovćen.
Club career
He spent most of his club career at FK Zeta before joining Partizan Belgrade in 2004. During a league fixture against FK Zeta on 21 March 2006, he suffered a double open-fracture of both his tibia and fibula following a challenge by Jovan Markoski in the 6th minute of the match. This resulted in two operations and a two-and-a-half-year long battle to regain fitness.
Following the first operation at Belgrade's VMA clinic, the prognosis was 6–8 months away from the pitch, however, due to slow recovery another surgery was required. This one took place in early January 2007 at the Orthopedic clinic in Belgrade
As his contract with Partizan expired during his rehab, on 4 September 2008 Partizan management led by general-secretary Gordan Petrić and football director Ivan Tomić decided to extend Brnović's contract until summer 2009.[1] Three days later, on 7 September 2008, Nenad played his first match after the injury, appearing for 15 minutes in a friendly against PAOK. Later in the fall 2008, he appeared in another friendly versus Slavija Istočno Sarajevo. By December 2008, Brnović appeared to be match-fit and ready to play competitive matches. Later that month Partizan started looking into options of moving him on loan for the first six months of his comeback.[2]
In mid January 2009, Brnović's loan move to FK Rad was announced.[3] In summer 2009 Nenad moved to FK Budućnost Podgorica.
His older brother Bojan is also a footballer.
International career
Brnović earned 17 caps for the Yugoslavian and Serbia-Montenegro national football team making his debut in 2002 against Lithuania, but has not yet been called up to play for the national team of newly formed Montenegro.
