Dedić started his career with Koper. As a former Parma player, he was loaned out to Serie B clubs Empoli in 2004–05 season and Cremonese in the second half of the 2005–06 season. He made his Serie A debut on 21 September 2005 against Roma. He left for Frosinone of Serie B in January 2007 in co-ownership deal.
In January 2008, he was loaned to Piacenza of Serie B and was given the number 9 shirt from Daniele Cacia, who had left for Fiorentina.[3] On 25 June 2008 Frosinone acquired Dedić outright from Parma.[4]
After eight years in Italy, Dedić left Frosinone on 3 June 2009 to sign with the German club Bochum. His contract runs until 30 June 2013.[citation needed] In August 2011 he was loaned for one year to Dynamo Dresden.[5]
Dedić made his debut for Slovenia on 18 August 2004 in a friendly match against Serbia and Montenegro coming in as a substitute in 67th minute.[6] He scored his first goal against Poland on 6 September 2008, in a 2010 World Cup qualification match. He was later instrumental in his national team's successful qualification to the 2010 World Cup by scoring the winning goal in the second leg playoff match against Russia, which ended 1–0.
Dedić was born in Bihać, present day Bosnia and Herzegovina, and moved to Slovenia at a very young age where he spent his childhood in the village of Podgorje, near Koper, in the Slovenian Littoral.[citation needed]
