Aleksandar Živković (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Живковић, pronounced [aleksǎːndar ʒǐːʋkoʋitɕ, alěksaːn-];[1][2] born 28 July 1977) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Živković made his senior debuts at his hometown club Radnički Niš, aged 16, which attracted the attention of Partizan. He spent just one year with the Crno-beli, before returning to Čair in 1995. Over the next three seasons, Živković played regularly for the side, making 75 league appearances and scoring six goals. He was subsequently transferred to Belgrade club Rad in 1998. After two seasons with the Građevinari, Živković moved abroad to Japan and joined Júbilo Iwata in mid-2000.[4] He helped the team win the Emperor's Cup in 2003.

In the 2004 winter transfer window, Živković returned to his homeland and signed for Obilić. He also played with OFK Beograd and Voždovac, before going abroad for the second time and joining Shandong Luneng in early 2006. Over the next four seasons, Živković helped the team win two Chinese Super League and one Chinese FA Cup. He also played for Shenzhen Ruby and Guangzhou R&F, before retiring from the game at the age of 34.

International career

[edit]

In 2001, Živković made two appearances for FR Yugoslavia at the Kirin Cup. He also represented Serbia at the 2008 Summer Olympics as one of the three over-age players alongside Miljan Mrdaković and Vladimir Stojković.[5]
