Playing career

Born in Trebinje, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Savić started his career in Serbia by playing with the youth teams of Red Star Belgrade. As a senior, he started playing in Serbian lower-league sides Tavankut, Palić, Sinđelić Beograd and Hajduk Beograd. After a short spell in Bosnia and Herzegovina with Laktaši, he was back to Serbia this time by signing with Rad,[1] after trials in Germany with TSV 1860 Munich.[2] Next, Savić was back in Bosnia playing with Olimpik, Borac Banja Luka (with whom he won the Republika Srpska Cup in the 2011–12 cup season) and Rudar Prijedor. He then had a spell at Mornar in the Montenegrin First League as well.[3]

One of three European additions to Moroka Swallows in 2014,[4] Savić missed the club's first two matches owing to work permit delays.[5] After being cleared to play,[5] he was sidelined for six weeks due to getting an injury and had to unpremeditatedly undergo an operation.[6] In the end, Savić left Moroka Swallows as his mother was ill and asked the club if he could return to his home country.[7]

Shortly after leaving Moroka, Savić decided to finish his playing career.

Managerial career

One year after finishing his playing career, Savić got an UEFA Pro Licence as a manager. He started as manager of Bosnian club Jedinstvo Žeravica,[8] and in the summer of 2017 he moved to Cyprus where he became an assistant manager of Vladan Milojević at Alki Oroklini.[9] In May 2018, he came back to Jedinstvo Žeravica. In the 2018–19 season, Savić won the Second League of RS - west division, and got the club promoted to the First League of RS.[10] On 4 July 2019 however, Jedinstvo decided not to participate in the 2019–20 First League of RS season because of financial reasons.[11]

On 27 May 2019, shortly after winning the league with Jedinstvo, he left the club and became the new manager of, at the time, Bosnian Premier League club Zvijezda 09.[12] In his first league game as Zvijezda's manager, the club lost 1–5 at home against Tuzla City on 20 July 2019.[13] On 31 August 2019, Savić decided to leave Zvijezda 09 after a poor start to the 2019–20 season.[14]

On 10 January 2020, he was named manager of Serbian club IMT Belgrade,[15] who he later on promoted to the Serbian First League. After leaving IMT, on 21 May 2020, Savić replaced Igor Janković as manager of First League of RS club Rudar Prijedor.[16]
