Boban Jović (born 25 June 1991) is a Slovenian former professional footballer who played as a right-back.

Club career

Jović started playing football at his local club Šampion, but moved to Aluminij in his teens. Even though he was playing in Slovenian second division, he was part of the under-19 national team, which qualified for the 2009 European Championship.

After the tournament, Jović moved to Olimpija Ljubljana and played 16 games in the 2009–10 season, mainly as a defensive midfielder. He became an indispensable member of the team during the next season, playing 30 games and starting to make the right back position his own.

On 8 August 2017 he was loaned from Bursaspor to Śląsk Wrocław.[2]

In November 2019, Jović announced his retirement from professional football.[3]

International career

Jović made his senior debut for Slovenia on 30 May 2016 in a goalless draw against Sweden.[4]
