Goran Bogdanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Богдановић; born 27 April 1967) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He was most noted for his technical ability and dribbling skills.[1]

Playing career

After starting out at his hometown club Smederevo, Bogdanović moved to Partizan in 1985. He subsequently won back-to-back championships with the Crno-beli, in 1986 and 1987. In the following period, Bogdanović established himself as one of the team's most regular players, helping Partizan win two Yugoslav Cups (1989 and 1992).

In early 1993, Bogdanović moved abroad to Spain and signed with Mallorca. He spent two and a half years at the club, before moving to Espanyol in mid-1995. In his debut La Liga season, Bogdanović scored five goals from 24 appearances, as the club finished in fourth place. He later lost his place in the team, before switching to Extremadura in early 1998.

In January 2000, Bogdanović returned to his childhood club Sartid Smederevo. He was immediately named the team's captain, becoming one of the league's best players. In the 2001–02 season, Bogdanović led the Oklopnici to a third-place finish, their highest league position to date. He also helped them win the Serbia and Montenegro Cup in 2003, their first major trophy. Eventually, Bogdanović decided to retire from the game after the end of the 2003–04 season.[2]

Post-playing career

After finishing his playing career, Bogdanović served as the director of football at his parent club Smederevo from 2005 to 2012.[3]
