Nebojša Kosović (Cyrillic: Небојша Косовић; born 24 February 1995) is a Montenegrin professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serbian club Partizan and the Montenegro national team.

Club career

Vojvodina

Born in Nikšić, Kosović joined Vojvodina as a trainee. He made his first team debut for the club in a 3–1 home league victory over Sloboda Užice on 9 April 2011. Until the end of the 2010–11 season, Kosović recorded one more league appearance, as the club finished in third place. He subsequently signed his first professional contract with Vojvodina, penning a three-year deal in February 2012. Kosović also made one league appearance in the 2011–12 season. He scored his first senior goal for the club in a 3–3 away draw against BSK Borča on 9 March 2013.[1] In the following 2013–14 season, Kosović scored his first goal in UEFA competitions, finding the back of the net in a 4–1 away win over Maltese club Hibernians on 4 July 2013.[2] He also extended his contract with Vojvodina in September 2013, to last until the summer of 2017.[3]

Újpest

In January 2014, Kosović was transferred to Belgian side Standard Liège.[4] He signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Les Rouches, before being immediately loaned to Hungarian club Újpest.[5] Led by his former manager Nebojša Vignjević, Kosović was a member of the team that won two major trophies (Magyar Kupa and Szuperkupa). He eventually returned to Standard Liège in the 2015 winter transfer window, but failed to make any competitive appearance for their first team.

Partizan

On 7 August 2015, Kosović moved back to Serbia and signed with Partizan, penning a four-year deal.[6] He made his debut for the club on 22 August 2015, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 away league win over Borac Čačak. On 12 March 2016, Kosović scored his first goal for Partizan in a 3–0 home league win over Voždovac with a bicycle kick.[7] He helped the side win the Serbian Cup in his first season with the Crno-beli.[8] In the following 2016–17 campaign, Kosović recorded 22 appearances and scored three goals in all competitions (league and cup), as Partizan won the double.

International career

Kosović represented his country at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. He scored a brace in a 2–3 group stage loss against Singapore. Kosović also capped for Montenegro at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level.

On 29 May 2016, Kosović made his full international debut for Montenegro, coming on as a substitute in a 0–1 friendly loss away against Turkey.[9]
