Vladimir Božović (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Божовић, pronounced [ʋlǎdimiːr bôːʒoʋitɕ]; born 13 November 1981) is a Montenegrin former professional football who played as a left-back or a left winger.

Club career

Born in Peć, modern day Kosovo, Božović moved to Kragujevac at an early age. He played for local clubs Sušica and Zastava,[1] before transferring to OFK Beograd in the summer of 2001.[2] Subsequently, Božović spent six seasons with the Romantičari, reaching the final of the Serbia and Montenegro Cup in 2006.[3] He also had two loan spells at Proleter Zrenjanin (2002 and 2004).

In the summer of 2007, Božović signed for Romanian club Rapid București. He made over 150 competitive appearances for the side, winning the domestic Super Cup in his debut year. In the 2013 winter transfer window, Božović moved to Russia and joined Mordovia Saransk.

In early 2016, Božović returned to Serbia and joined his parent club Sušica, helping them earn promotion to the Morava Zone League.[4] He stayed there for a year, before switching to fellow Kragujevac side Šumadija 1903,[5] competing in the Serbian League West. In early 2018, Božović made another return to Sušica,[6] helping them remain in the fourth tier of Serbian football.[7]

International career

Božović was among the founding members of the Montenegro national team, starting their inaugural match versus Hungary on 24 March 2007. He earned 42 international caps for Montenegro between 2007 and 2014.[8].
