Club career


Born in Ivanjica, Kovačević moved to Belgrade in 1955 and joined the youth system of Partizan.[2] He was promoted to the first team in 1958, making his official debut in a 2–1 home league win over Rijeka. During the next eight seasons, Kovačević helped Partizan win the Yugoslav First League on four occasions (1960–61, 1961–62, 1962–63, and 1964–65). He was also a member of the team that lost the 1966 European Cup Final to Real Madrid.[3] Two years earlier, Kovačević was the competition's joint top scorer with seven goals, along with Sandro Mazzola and Ferenc Puskás.[4]

In 1966, Kovačević moved abroad to France and signed with Nantes, spending there just one season. He subsequently returned to Yugoslavia to perform his compulsory military service and rejoined Partizan.[5] In late 1969, Kovačević moved back to France and joined Angers.


International career


At international level, Kovačević earned 13 caps for Yugoslavia between 1960 and 1965, scoring two goals. He was a member of the team at the 1962 FIFA World Cup, as Yugoslavia lost to Chile in the third-place match.
