Professional career

Čakarević started his professional career with the French team ASVEL, where he played from 2006 to 2008. In January 2009, Čakarević joined the Macedonian side Pelister, but returned to his homeland in March 2009, when he signed for Swisslion Takovo. From 2009 to 2011, Čakarević played for Radnički Kragujevac. In the summer of 2011, Čakarević was signed by Partizan. On August 2, 2013, he terminated his contract with Partizan and became a free agent.[1] In November 2013, he signed with Metalac Valjevo.[2]

In August 2014, he signed a one-year deal with Igokea.[3] In August 2015, he re-signed with the team.[4] In the preseason tournament played in Valjevo, he injured his shoulder, injury that will likely keep him off the court the entire season.[5]

In the summer of 2016, he signed with Romanian club Timișoara.[6] In December 2016, he parted ways with Timișoara after appearing in six games.[7] In February 2017, he signed with Serbian club Dynamic for the rest of the season.[8] He was named the MVP of the Serbian Super League's 2017 season.[9]

On September 19, 2017, he returned to Partizan for the 2017–18 season.[10] He left Partizan in June 2018.[11]
