Nemanja Stojic joined Maccabi from Red Star Belgrade after an agreement was reached between the two clubs for the transfer of the Serbian international who signed a three-year deal with an option to extend by a further season.
The 26-year-old central defender (190cm) represented his country’s national team twice and was included in Serbia’s squad for the Euro Finals
Shortly after successfully completing his medical and signing his contract, Stojic, who will wear the number 18 jersey at Maccabi told the official website: “Maccabi is a club with a rich history I heard about from a young age as the biggest in Israel. I am very happy to be here and join Maccabi and work again under Zarko Lazetic and his staff who were so influential in my career. I hope to help Maccabi win as many domestic titles as possible and do well in Europe. Can’t wait to start.”
Stojic made his first footballing footsteps at the youth academies of Begrade clubs Partizan and Vozdovac before switching to Red Star. He had loan spells with Graficar Belgrade (twice) and Zlatibor Cajetina and moved in 2021 to Metalac Gornij Milanova. The following season Stojic joined TSC Backa Topola where he played under Zarko Lazetic scoring 8 goals in 95 appearances.
Stojic’s performances for TSC led to him being named in Serbia’s SuperLiga team of the 2023/24 season and earned him a call up to the national team followed by a summer move to Red Star.
