Club career

After playing for his hometown club Sloven Ruma, Šarac joined ambitious Obilić in the summer of 1995. He was a regular member of the team that became champions of FR Yugoslavia for the 1997–98 season. In the summer of 1999, Šarac moved abroad to Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia, alongside several teammates. He stayed for only a couple of months and made three appearances in the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup, before returning to Obilić.[1]

In July 2000, Šarac moved abroad for the second time and signed with Austria Wien.[2] He spent two seasons at the club and then left for fellow Bundesliga side Pasching. In July 2003, Šarac returned to his homeland and joined Red Star Belgrade on a two-year contract.[3] He played regularly in his debut season and helped the team win the double. In May 2005, Šarac moved back to Austria and signed with Sturm Graz for two years.[4]

In July 2007, Šarac returned to Serbia and signed with Vojvodina.[5] He was released the following January, alongside Saša Drakulić, after playing futsal without perission during the winter break.[6]

International career

Between 1998 and 2004, Šarac was capped six times for Serbia and Montenegro (formerly known as FR Yugoslavia) at full level. He previously played for the national under-21 team.

Managerial career

After hanging up his boots, Šarac served as an assistant manager to Nenad Lalatović at numerous clubs, including Red Star Belgrade, Vojvodina (two spells), Čukarički and Radnički Niš.
