Club career
Born in Skopje, Trenevski moved at an early age to Titograd in 1980, where his father was stationed in the Yugoslav People's Army. He started out with local club Budućnost, making his senior debut in the 1991–92 season. In the 1995 winter transfer window, Trenevski was transferred to Partizan. He spent the following three and a half years with the Crno-beli, winning two national championship titles and one national cup. In the summer of 1998, Trenevski moved abroad and joined Mexican club Puebla. He subsequently went on trial to Brazilian club Fluminense in 1999, without signing a contract.
In the summer of 2002, Trenevski moved to Slovenia and signed with Mura. He spent the next six seasons playing in the top flight, amassing 137 appearances and scoring 44 league goals for five different clubs.[3] Before retiring from the game, Trenevski also played for Third League club Malečnik in the 2008–09 season.[3]
International career
Trenevski earned a total of 17 caps for the Macedonia national team,[4] making his debut in a 1–0 win over Iceland on 7 June 1997. His final international was a January 2004 friendly match against China.[5]
Managerial career
After starting his managerial career with his former club Malečnik, Trenevski was appointed manager of Slovenian Third League club Veržej in November 2011.[6] He subsequently took charge at Slovenian Second League club Zavrč in January 2013,[7] immediately leading them to promotion to the top flight of Slovenian football. Despite the team's initial success, Trenevski eventually left the club by mutual consent in March 2014.[8]
In July 2015, Trenevski returned to the country of his childhood and became manager of Dečić.[9] He was suspended by the Montenegrin FA in October 2015, receiving a six-month ban due to issues regarding his UEFA Pro Licence.[10]
On 19 July 2016, Trenevski was appointed manager of Rabotnički, replacing Tomislav Franc, following the club's elimination from the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League.[11]
