Vladimir Vujović (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Вујовић, born 23 July 1982) is a Montenegrin professional football coach and former player who is the head coach of the Lebanese Second Division club Salam Zgharta.[1][2][3]
Club career[]
Mogren[]
Vujović started playing in his home-town club FK Mogren. He made his debut as senior by making two appearances for Mogren in the 1999–2000 First League of FR Yugoslavia. Mogren ended the season 19th in the league and got relegated. That ended up opening way for Vujović to become a regular starter for Mogren in the following season when playing in the 2000–01 Second League of FR Yugoslavia (20 appearances). Mogren performed well and finished third, however it was not enough for promotion back to the national top-level.
Beograd[]
His regular exhibitions called the attention of the clubs from the capital, Belgrade, and that summer 2001 he moved to another club playing in the Second League, FK Beograd.
Petrovac[]
Vujović was a regular and after a year and a half he decided to leave the capital and return to Montenegro, this time signing with Second League side OFK Petrovac.
Sutjeska Nikšić[]
He was now closer to the eyes of the scouts of the strongest Montenegrin clubs playing in the First League, and half season at Petrovac was enough to earn him a move to FK Sutjeska Nikšić which had just ended the 2002–03 season of the FR Yugoslav First League at fourth place. It was summer 2003 and Vujović was now back to the First League of FR Yugoslavia but this time as more experienced player. Vujović was a regular starter in the squad of Sutjeska, however the club failed to repeat the great performance of the earlier season and finished eight.
Pobeda[]
Sutjeska was performing even worse in 2004–05 and by the winter-break Vujović decided to move and signed with Macedonian side FK Pobeda. It ended being a right choice as Sutjeska ended the season in a relegation spot, while his new club, Pobeda, grabbed a European competition spot by finishing third in the 2004–05 Macedonian First League. Vujović contributed with 5 goals in the 14 games he played that half-season. By then Pobeda was a regular among the top Macedonian clubs, and next season they finished fourth.[4]
Al Wehda[]
In summer 2006 he made his first move to Asia by signing with Saudi Arabian club Al-Wehda Mecca.[5] Vujović scored 6 goals in 28 appearances helping the Mecca club to finish third in the 2006–07 Saudi Premier League. At that time Montenegro had become independent and formed its own national team. Vujović was among those who received the first call ever to the Montenegrin national team, and played the three first games of Montenegro in its history.[6]
Return to Mogren[]
In summer 2007 Vujović left Saudi Arabia and returned home. He joined FK Mogren and played with them in the second edition of the Montenegrin First League as national top-flight. However he will not stay long home. He left Mogren at the winter-break of the 2007–08 Montenegrin First League.
Luch Vladivostok[]
Back then Russia had its leagues taking place during calendar years, and at beginning of 2008 Vujović was target of FC Luch Vladivostok as their reinforcement for the 2008 Russian Premier League. The club from Vladivostok performed below expectations and ended the season relegated.
Vasas[]
It meant most of the best players were free to go, and so did Vujović, he left Russia and joined Hungarian side Vasas SC. He played with Vasas the second half of the 2008–09 Nemzeti Bajnokság I. Vasas finished 10th and failed to reach a European spot.
Second return to Mogren[]
Vujović left Budapest heading home again and returning to FK Mogren. Mogren's third place in the 2009–10 Montenegrin First League was not enough for his ambitions, and the following couple of years will justify once more the label of football globetrotter of Vujović.
Vostok[]
His experience in the Russian Premier League was a good recommendation for Kazakh side FC Vostok who were newly promoted in the 2011 Kazakhstan Premier League. However the team was not balanced enough to survive at Kazakh elite, and finished bottom and relegated.
Al Ahed[]
Vujović moved this time to Beirut, where he joined Al Ahed FC and finished third in the 2011–12 Lebanese Premier League.
Shenyang Shenbei[]
Already in Asia, Vujović next stop was to be China. He signed with Shenyang Shenbei and played with them the entire season of 2012 China League One. His club failed promotion to the Chinese top-league.
Petrovac[]
Vujović was back home where he played with OFK Petrovac the first half of the 2013–14 Montenegrin First League.[4]
Persib Bandung[]
He was signed by Persib Bandung on 11 December 2013.[7]
Bhayangkara[]
On 8 December 2018, he officially announced his retirement from professional football.[8]
International career[]
Vujović made his debut for Montenegro in his country's first ever competitive match on 24 March 2007, a friendly against Hungary in Podgorica. He has earned a total of 3 caps, scoring no goals. His final international was a June 2007 Kirin Cup match against Colombia.[9]
Managerial career[]
On 16 January 2019, one month after his retirement as a football player, Vladimir was appointed as a head coach of Bogor FC in Liga 2,[10] and after two months he leave Bogor with all 22 players to club PSIM Yogyakarta based on mutual consent.[11] He resigned as a coach of PSIM on 9 July 2019.[12]
On 1 June 2021, Vujović signed a one-year deal with Lebanese Second Division club Salam Zgharta.[citation needed]
