Željko Savić (Serbian Cyrillic: Жељко Савић born 18 March 1988) is a Bosnian Serb football defender who plays for FK Omladinac Novi Banovci in Serbia.
Club career[]
Born in Bihać, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, back then still within SFR Yugoslavia, Savic started playing in Serbia with lower-league side FK Omladinac Novi Banovci. In 2012, he moved to Inđija playing in second level, Serbian First League.[3]
Joining Bruneian club DPMM for the 2017 S.League season in 2017 via Trebol Sports International, Savic was impressed with his teammates efforts during practice and was surprised by the leagues different playing style, saying that they liked pushing forward.[4] Settling well into the team, the defender formed a salubrious relationship with his teammates,[1] making his debut in a 2-0 win over Hougang United, their first victory of the season.[5] However, he let slip 4 goals and was substituted before half-time when Home United beat DPMM 9-3 on May 25, 2017, which proved to be his last game for the Bruneian outfit.[6][7]
