Vladimir Jovović (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Јововић; born 26 October 1994) is a Montenegrin footballer who plays as attacking midfielder for Serbian SuperLiga side OFK Beograd, on loan from Red Star Belgrade.

Club career

Sutjeska

Jovović made his professional debut with Sutjeska Nikšić in 2011 at the age of 17. He was one of the youngest starting players in Sutjeska's championship-winning generation of the 2012-13 season. In the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase, he recorded an assist in the match against Sheriff Tiraspol in Tiraspol. In June 2013, Partizan sent its sporting director Albert Nađ to scout Jovović.[1] On January 26, 2015, it was announced that several Premier League teams were interested in signing Jovović, especially Aston Villa.[2] In March 2015, in a 0-3 loss to Budućnost, Jovović and Budućnost player Miloš Novović got in a fight on the field, and Jovović subsequently attacked the referee.[3] Due to the incident, on top of getting a red card, Jovović was suspended by Montenegro's football authority for 6 months.[3]

Red Star Belgrade

His contract with Sutjeska expired at the end of the 2014-15 season. He trained with Red Star Belgrade in April 2015, although without having signed a binding contract.[4] Jovović started new season with Red Star Belgrade, under coach Miodrag Božović.[5] After his suspension expired, he signed for Red Star on August 14, 2015.[6]

Loan to OFK Beograd

At the end of the 2015-16 winter transfer window, Jovović was loaned to OFK Beograd.[7] The coach at OFK Beograd, Dragan Radojičić, had previously been Jovović's coach at Sutjeska.[8] On February 21, 2016, Jovović scored against Partizan on his debut with OFK Beograd.[8]

International career

Jovović began playing for Montenegro U21 in late 2013 for the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualification. At 19 years of age, Jovović made his debut for the Montenegro national football team on November 17, 2013, in a friendly match against Luxembourg.[9]
