Ivan Radovanović, a former teammate of Boštjan Cesar, Bojan Jokić, and Valter Birsa at Italian club Chievo, was powerless as a coach when his team played in Ub, a town in western Serbia. Jedinstvo hosted Partizan at home, and the Belgrade team triumphed 4-0. Mario Jurčević played the entire match in the black-and-white jersey, making his debut for the former Serbian champion in the best possible way.
In the first round of the Serbian league, Partizan won 1-0 away against Napredak, but then lost 2-6 to Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League qualifiers. Mario Jurčević watched the first match from the stands and the second from the bench. Third time’s a charm; he finally played and left the field more than satisfied.
Mario Jurčević, who played in Cyprus before transferring to Partizan, was on the pitch at the Dragan Džajić Stadium from start to finish. He received a yellow card and was rated 7.2 by SofaScore for his performance.
Mario Jurčević won’t be the only former member of Olimpija living and playing in Belgrade this season. Timi Max Elšnik has also traveled there and will officially sign for Crvena zvezda on Monday. His future teammates narrowly avoided embarrassment on Saturday. At the Marakana, they were trailing 0-2 against Mladost Lučani but managed to secure at least a point with goals in the 85th and 91st minutes. Mladost ended the match with one player less, as Uroš Ljubomirac received a red card in the 68th minute, easing the home team’s efforts.
