Dragoljub Kostić (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгољуб Костић) is a former Yugoslav and Serbian footballer who played as a striker.[1]
Career[]
Kostić started out at his hometown club Priština, competing in the Yugoslav Second League. He was transferred to newly promoted Yugoslav First League side Napredak Kruševac in the summer of 1976. With 17 goals, Kostić was the Yugoslav First League joint top scorer in the 1979–80 season, alongside Safet Sušić.[2] He thus helped his team to a fourth-place finish, their highest-ever position in the top flight, while earning a spot in UEFA competitions for the first time in history. He reportedly had an offer to play for Tottenham Hotspur in England but declined.[3]
Before retiring from the game, Kostić spent the final years of his career with Jedinstvo Paraćin, playing in the lower leagues.
