Aleksandar Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Јовановић, pronounced [aleksǎːndar jǒʋanoʋitɕ, alěksaːn-, - joʋǎː-]; born 6 December 1992) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Partizan.

Club career

Rad

Born in Niš, Jovanović started his professional career as a member of Rad, where he spent time from 2009 to 2014.[1] In the meantime he was loaned to Palilulac Beograd and Palić.[2] He made his SuperLiga debut under coach Marko Nikolić, in a match against Red Star Belgrade, played on 3 March 2013, when Filip Kljajić got the red card, and Jovanović was substituted in from the bench.[3] After the 2013–14 season he spent as a reserve for Filip Kljajić and Branislav Danilović, Jovanović started 2014–15 as the first choice of coach Milan Milanović, but after several games and some bad reactions[4] he fell into the background and left the club during the winter break off-season.[5]

Radnički Niš

After a short episode with Donji Srem,[6] Jovanović returned in Radnički Niš in summer 2015 to be a successor of Milan Borjan in front of goal. He signed two-year contract with the club where he passed his youth career.[7] After just 8 conceded goals on 18 matches, Partizan has expressed interest in him.[8]

AGF

In summer 2016, Jovanović moved to Denmark and signed four-year contract with AGF.[9] He made his official debut for new club in the 1 fixture of the 2016–17 Danish Superliga season against SønderjyskE, played on 17 July 2016.[10] After one collision with teammate Dino Mikanović during the 4th fixture match same season, against Esbjerg, Jovanović got a head injury and was substituted out.[11] In May 2017, Jovanović made a record, playing without conceded goal for 423 minutes in the Danish Superliga.[12]

Huesca

On 28 August 2018, it was announced Jovanović signed a three-year contract with La Liga club SD Huesca.[13] On 15 September 2020, he terminated his contract with the club.[14]

Return to AGF (loan)

On the last day of the 2019 summer transfer market, Jovanović returned to AGF on a loan deal for the rest of 2019 season.[15]

Deportivo La Coruña (loan)

On 31 January 2020, Jovanović moved to fellow Segunda División side Deportivo de La Coruña on loan until June.[16]

Partizan

On 29 June 2023 Partizan completed the transfer of Jovanović from Apollon Limassol in the amount of €450,000. He made his debut on 6 August in the second round of the Serbian SuperLiga in a 0–2 victory over Vojvodina at Karađorđe Stadium.[17] Jovanović was the absolute hero of the two-legged tie against Sabah in the third qualifying round of 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League. He was the team's best individual in a 2–0 defeat in Azerbaijan, when he saved a penalty and several other saves, and prevented Partizan's heavy defeat. In the rematch in Belgrade after a dramatic 90, then 120 minutes of football and five series of penalties, Jovanović saved Namiq Ələsgərov's shot in the last penalty series twice - because the attempt was repeated due to earlier leaving the goal line.[18][19]

International career

Jovanović got his first call up to the senior Serbia squad for a friendly match against Russia on 5 June 2016.[20] In May 2018, he was named in Serbia's preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[21]
