Club career

Vujačić made his first-team debut for Zeta in September 2011. He totaled 12 appearances and scored once during the 2011–12 season. In February 2013, Vujačić was transferred to Serbian club Vojvodina on a four-year contract.[1] He, however, failed to make an impact and was released at the beginning of the following year. In April 2014, Vujačić joined Polish club Widzew Łódź and was immediately assigned to the reserve team.[2]

After returning to his homeland, Vujačić signed with Mogren in the summer of 2014. He spent just half a season at Stadion Lugovi before rejoining his parent club Zeta. Over the following four and a half years, Vujačić established himself as one of the best defenders in the league, amassing 133 appearances and scoring nine goals.

In June 2019, Vujačić signed with Serbian club Partizan and was given the number 5 shirt.[3] Vujačić made the Partizan debut on his 25th birthday, after he came on as a sub during the 3rd round UEFA Europa League qualifier against Yeni Malatyaspor[4].

International career

Vujačić represented his country at under-19 and under-21 level. He made his full international debut for Montenegro on 7 June 2019, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw with Kosovo.
