Milan Đurić (born 22 May 1990) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays for Serie A club Cesena.
Early life
Đurić was born in Tuzla (his father, Goran, being a former Bosnian third division footballer) which moved to Pesaro in 1991.[1] Although he was born in Tuzla, his family is from Vlasenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina at that time part of SFR Yugoslavia.[2]
Club career
Early career
He played for Vis Pesaro's youth system until 2005, when the club declared bankruptcy and he was consequently released for free, being successively signed by San Marino and successively Cesena, where he plays for the youth team coached by former Bosnian star Davor Jozić.[1][3]
Cesena
He made his first team debut for A.C. Cesena on October 30, 2007, a 2007–08 Serie B match lost to A.C. Mantova[4] and scored his first professional goal a few weeks later in a league match against Frosinone. He was confirmed to Cesena also for the following season, in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione (Italian third tier).
Parma
In June 2010 he was swapped with Alberto Galuppo of Parma F.C. directly and no cash. On 30 June 2010, Đurić was loaned to Ascoli Calcio 1898. On January 28, 2011, he was loaned out to Crotone. This deal was extended on 15 June 2011 for another year.
He spent the 2012–13 season on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Cremonese.
Cesena return
Later in July 2013 he was loaned to newly promoted Serie B club Trapani, after Cesena bought him back . In January, 2014, he was then loaned to Cittadella.
International career
Đurić was eligible to play for both Bosnia and Serbia. However he never got a call from Serbia, so he decided to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina.[5] In July 2010, Đurić expressed his desire to play for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team.[2] Indeed, on February 12, 2012, Milan Đurić got his first call-up for Bosnia and Herzegovina U-21 against Serbia U-21 friendly match in Belgrade, Serbia,[6] but waited for his dream debut until June 1, 2012 when he was substituted on in 79th minute for Bosnia-Herzegovina U21 (under Vlado Jagodić) and scored 10 minutes later which was his first ever goal for his native country in a comfortable 3:0 home victory in Under-21 European Championship qualifications over Belarus U-21, at Grbavica Stadium in Sarajevo.[7] Five days later he started the match against San Marino U-21, in Sarajevo on June 6, and scored his second goal for national team and second of the game in 3:1 win, while added one assistance for the first goal of the game. In game against Greece U-21, on September 7 in Sarajevo, he scored yet another, his third in a three, and fourth of the game for a comfortable 4:0 win.
On 10 September 2012, in Sarajevo against Germany U21, Đurić scored his first hat-trick for Bosnia and Herzegovina U21, while also making an assistance for Bosnia's fourth goal of the game. This makes impressive tally of six goals, with two assists, in just four played games.[8]
On 27 March he made his debut for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team against the Andorran national football team after being subbed in for Vedad Ibisevic in the 67th minute. Bosnia won the match 3-0 with a hattrick from Edin Dzeko. Djuric later said that he was very happy for the win and the debut.
