Dejan Bandović (born 11 June 1983) is a football player from Bosnia and Herzegovina who as of 2017 plays for FK Olimpik in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a goalkeeper.[1] Earlier in his career he played for Velež Mostar and Široki Brijeg.

Career

With FK Sarajevo, Bandović won the 2013–14 Cup and the 2014–15 Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On 13 May 2014, national coach Safet Sušić invited him to a wider selection of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team for the World Cup, but he got dropped off the final list.[2][3]

After his contract with FK Sarajevo expired in 2015, he signed a 1-year contract with Iranian Siah Jamegan AK F.C.[4] However, he ended up playing the 2015/16 season in FK Olimpik.[5]

Cener affair

Bandović came into public focus in May 2017, when he refused the bribe of 10,000 KM (around 5000 €) offered by manager Sanel Klopić to "defend less than perfectly" in the upcoming relegation playoff match against NK Metalleghe-BSI from Jajce. Having recorded the conversation on an audio tape, Bandović published it to the media and submitted it to the Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bandović later explained he decided to record the conversation after Klopić had approached him several times with the same demand.[6] Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina immediately took over the investigation, eventually submitting it to the national public persecution office.[7][8] The match against Metalleghe ended up in a 1–1 draw, and both clubs were eventually relegated to the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[9]

Bandović was praised for his role in what became known as the "Cener affair". ("Cener" means tenner, i.e. the ten-thousand figure). In an interview, he stated "I can't do that... I'm 33 now and I don't want a spot on my honor on the end of my career. When I finish my career, I want to turn back and say that I've done my job fairly and honestly".[10]
