Robert Ljubičić (born 14 July 1999) is an Austrian footballer who plays for Rapid Wien.[1]
Club career[]
After three full seasons at St. Pölten in the Austrian Bundesliga, it was announced on 8 March 2021 that Ljubičić would join Rapid Wien in the summer of 2021 on a three-year deal.[2] His brother, Dejan, was captain of the club at the time, but his departure to Köln in Germany was announced in April.[3] He made his debut at Rapid in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against Sparta Prague on 20 July, in his brother's position of central midfield.
International career[]
Ljubičić is of Bosnian Croatian descent, so he was eligible to represent Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. He was capped for the Croatia U20 team in 2019, but decided to switch allegiances to Austria U21 team in 2020. He has not made a senior international debut for either country as of August 2021.
Personal life[]
His older brother Dejan is also a professional footballer.[4] They were born in Austria to Bosnian Croat parents.[5]
