Club career
Jagodina
2011–12 season
El-Monir signed with Serbian side Jagodina in summer 2011 coming from Al-Ittihad Club (Tripoli).[1] He made his debut for FK Jagodina on 26 October 2011 as a starter in a last 16 round match of Serbian Cup against FK Javor Ivanjica, a 3–5 penalty loss after a 1–1 draw after extra-time. His league debut happened on 17 March 2012, in a round 19 match against current league leaders and previous season champions, Partizan Belgrade.
On 21 April 2012, he impressed the local media and specially the club supporters when he showed extreme will of playing and a die-hard attitude when he played 35 minutes of the 23rd round of the SuperLiga match against BSK Borča with a fractured foot. It all happened in the 10th minute, however El Monir willing to keep on playing only reported the injury at the half-time and got substituted. As this was only the second time that he got a chance to be a starter in the team he did not wanted to miss the chance to show his skills, and despite the pain, he did his best to contribute to keep on playing. Despite the questionable attitude from the point of view of his health, the national press and Jagodina officials and supporters couldn´t resist not to praise this display of enormous dedication.[2]
2012–13 season
In early October 2012, prior to his departure to join the national team, El-Monir renewed his contract with Jagodina until 2015.[3] On 8 May 2013, he played a key role in Jagodina's 1–0 victory against FK Vojvodina in the 2013 Serbian Cup Final.
2013-14 season
At the beginning of the 2013-14 season, El-Monir played against Rubin Kazan in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round. On 4 November 2013, it was announced that CA Osasuna sent scouts to watch El-Monir play for Jagodina.[4]
During the winter break, he left and returned to Libya and played with his former club Al-Ittihad Tripoli.
2014–15 season
On 28 August 2014, he signed again with FK Jagodina.[5]
International career
Mohamed El-Monir made the squad for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations,[6] but was an unused substitute at all the matches at the tournament. Subsequently, he was part of the Libyan squad in the following call by Marcos Paqueta for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Togo and Cameroon, played on 3 and 10 June respectively.[7] He finally made his debut appearance for Libya on 14 October 2012 in his country's 2–0 loss to Algeria.
