Damir Kojašević (Cyrillic: Дамир Којашевић; born 3 June 1987) is a Montenegrin footballer who plays for Sutjeska Nikšić. He also played for the Montenegrin men's national team.

While playing as a professional in Kazakhstan, Talgat Baysufinov called him "the little scoundrel", referring to his playing style on the field.[3]

Club career

Early career

Kojašević signed his first professional contract with Montenegrin club Dečić at the age of 16.[4] At the age of 18, he completed his first international transfer to Polish team Jagiellonia Białystok in 2008.[5] At the age of 19 he was named the best foreign player in the Ekstraklasa.[5] He left after a season due to a disagreement with the coach.[4] He then returned to Montenegro and joined Zeta, with whom he played for three months.[5]

Sarajevo

In 2010, Kojašević joined Bosnian team Sarajevo after being scouted by the club president at the time, Zijad Blekić.[4] Over the course of two seasons with Sarajevo, he was considered to be one of the best players in the Premijer Liga.[6] After the club told him they could not afford to pay his salary, Kojašević voluntarily terminated his contract.[4] He subsequently joined Budućnost in a free transfer in January 2012, but played for them for only three months.[5]

Astana

After only a brief period with Budućnost, Kojašević joined Kazakh side FC Astana in the spring of 2012. During his time with Astana, he enjoyed clubbing after games.[7] In February 2015, Kojašević moved from Astana to Lokomotiv Tashkent on loan.[8]

Mladost Podgorica

In August 2015, Kojašević turned down clubs from other countries to join Mladost Podgorica, citing family reasons.[5] At Mladost his coach was Nikola Rakojević.[9] In November 2015 he suffered a calf injury.[10] Although he only spent a half-season at Mladost, Kojašević contributed to Mladost winning the league that season with seven goals.[11]

Vardar

In December 2015, Kojašević signed with Vardar.[12]

Vojvodina

On the last day of the 2017 summer transfer window, Kojašević signed a one-year-deal with Serbian club Vojvodina.[13] On 29 September 2017, he scored two goals against Mladost Lučani.[14] On 3 December 2017, Kojašević scored a goal in a 1-1 tie against Partizan at their stadium in snowy conditions.[15] In the half-season he played for Vojvodina, he scored four goals over the course of 14 matches.[16] He was a teammate with Dušan Jovančić.[16][15]

Shakhter Karagandy

On 12 February 2018, Shakhter Karagandy announced the signing of Kojašević.[17] At the time he joined, the team was coached by Uladzimir Zhuravel, with whom Kojašević worked well and got playing time. However, the team's record under Zhuravel experienced a period of losses in addition to Zhuravel's health problems. Later in 2018 Zhuravel was replaced by Nikolay Kostov, with whom Kojašević also saw playing time in addition to a significantly improved record during the season.[7]

In August 2018, Kojašević went to the coal mine in Karaganda with the rest of the team. Although he was initially scared, the mine left a strong impression with him, as he had never gone down a mine before.[7]

Later career

In January 2019, he joined Radnički Niš. He left the club at the end of the season.[18] He then joined Sutjeska Nikšić in June 2019.[19]

International career

Kojašević was called up to the senior Montenegro squad for a friendly against Turkey in June 2016.[20] However, he did not make his debut until substituting Marko Vešović in a match against Romania on 4 September 2016. Less than 10 minutes after coming on the field, Kojašević made an assist for teammate Stevan Jovetić, whose goal tied the game 1-1.[3] On 27 March 2017, he made made another assist for teammate Stefan Mugoša in his goal against Poland, although Montenegro ended up losing 1-2.[21]
