Damjan Daničić (Serbian Cyrillic: Дамјан Даничић, pronounced [dǎmjan dǎnitʃitɕ];[2][3] born 24 January 2000) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for OFK Beograd.[4]

Club career

Voždovac

Daničić is a youth prospect of Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade, whose academy he left in 2019 and joined Serbian SuperLiga side Voždovac on free transfer.[5] He made his SuperLiga debut on 27 July 2019 in a 2–2 draw with Proleter Novi Sad.[6] Three months later, on 9 October, he made his Serbian Cup debut as Teleoptik defeated Voždovac 8–7 in a penalty shootout.[7][8] He made seven appearances for Voždovac in the first half of the season.[9]

Dinamo Zagreb

Due to lack of playing time, in the shadow of in-form Stefan Hajdin, Daničić signed in January 2020 with Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb, whose academy his father used to attend during coach Otto Barić's tenure, on free transfer.[10][11][12][13] He became the second Serbian player after Komnen Andrić to play for Dinamo since the independence of Croatia.[14] The transfer sparked minor controversy in Serbia due to rivalry between Dinamo and Daničić's youth club Red Star.[10][11]

He debuted for Dinamo on 27 January 2020 in Premier League International Cup against Leicester City, as the English side won 2–1.[15][16] He made his Druga HNL debut for Dinamo Zagreb II on 22 February 2020 in a 2–2 draw with Orijent 1919. The first team coach Zoran Mamić gave Daničić a chance in the first team on 18 July, as he made his Prva HNL debut in a goalless draw with Istra 1961.[17][18]

On 19 October, he was loaned out to Prva HNL side Varaždin until the end of the season.[19] He made his debut for Varaždin on 23 October in a 2–1 loss to Slaven Belupo.[20] He was returned from loan in January 2021.[21] He scored his first goal for Dinamo II on 12 April, in a 3–1 victory over Orijent 1919.[22] He scored his second goal on 5 May in an upset 2–0 victory over Hrvatski Dragovoljac.[23]

International career

Born in Zagreb to Serbian parents, Daničić holds both Serbian and Croatian citizenships,[10] making him eligible for both Serbia and Croatia national teams.[13]

He earned his first call-up to Serbia under-21 team on 29 September 2020, when coach Ilija Stolica called him up for Under-21 Euro 2021 qualifiers against Poland and Estonia.[24] He debuted against the latter opponent on 13 October in a game that ended in a goalless draw.[25]
