Damjan Daničić


Damjan Daničić is a Serbian association football player who plays as a left-back for Prva HNL side Dinamo Zagreb.

Club career

Voždovac

Daničić is a youth prospect of Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade, whose academy he left in 2019 and joined Serbian SuperLiga side Voždovac on free transfer. He made his SuperLiga debut on 27 July 2019 in a 2–2 draw with Proleter Novi Sad. Three months later, on 9 October, he made his Serbian Cup debut as Teleoptik defeated Voždovac 8–7 in a penalty shootout. He made seven appearances for Voždovac in the first half of the season.

Dinamo Zagreb

Due to lack of playing time, in the shadow of in-form Stefan Hajdin, Daničić signed in January 2020 with Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on free transfer. He became the second Serbian player after Komnen Andrić to play for Dinamo since the independence of Croatia. The transfer sparked minor controversy in Serbia due to rivalry between Dinamo and Daničić's youth club Red Star.
He debuted for Dinamo on 27 January 2020 in Premier League International Cup against Leicester City, as the English side won 2–1. He made his Druga HNL debut for Dinamo Zagreb II on 22 February 2020 in a 2–2 draw with Orijent 1919. The first team coach Zoran Mamić gave Daničić a chance in the first team on 18 July, as he made his Prva HNL debut in a goalless draw with Istra 1961.

International career

Daničić holds both Serbian and Croatian citizenship, having been born in Zagreb, making him eligible for both Serbia and Croatia national teams. On youth level, he was capped five times for Serbia U19 since 6 September 2018.
