Zoran Njeguš

Zoran Njeguš (Serbian Cyrillic: Зоран Његуш; born 25 June 1973) is a Serbian former professional football player and a former manager. Over the course of his career, he played for Sloboda Užice, Red Star Belgrade, Atlético Madrid, and Sevilla. He played for Yugoslavia's national football team seven times, although his last international appearance was after Yugoslavia's name was changed to Serbia and Montenegro.

Club career Red Star Belgrade Njeguš joined Red Star Belgrade in the summer of 1995. Over the course of three seasons at Red Star, Njeguš played a total of 103 matches. He played in every match of Red Star's 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup campaign up to their elimination against Barcelona in the second round. He was coach Arrigo Sacchi's first pick of that year's summer transfer window. He played for three seasons at Atlético Madrid, playing a total of 52 matches. His loan to Sevilla was renewed for a season on 27 July 2002. After almost three seasons with Sevilla, a bitter dispute occurred from a drastic punishment given to him after he returned late from the 2003-2004 winter break. During court proceedings on settling the contract dispute between Sevilla and himself, a jurist stated that Njeguš was "depressed, eating compulsively, and gained 8 kilograms" as a result of Sevilla sanctioning him. Njeguš subsequently retired. His final international was a June 2003 European Championship qualification match away against Azerbaijan.

Personal life In March 2016, Njeguš was arrested for allegedly being involved in real estate fraud in the Zlatibor region. He was released from custody 10 days later.
