Career

Savović came in 2004 to the first team of the club from Vršac, which was then under the sponsor name Hemofarm . The 2004/05 season was the most successful season for the club until then, when, in addition to winning the title in the ABA League and reaching the finals in the national championship and cup competition, the semi-finals in the European club competition ULEB Cup 2004/05 were reached in which one was eliminated after a high first leg success against the Greek representative Makedonikos Kozani. As a result, he was trained at Hemofarm by Miroslav Nikolić , who was also the selection coach of Serbian junior teams and in Vršac gathered a young team with players like Milan Mačvan around him. With the team from the Vršac Savović reached the Serbian Cup final twice and in 2008 under Nikolić's successors again the final series of the ABA League in 2008. In the 2009/10 season Savović played for KK Budućnost from Podgorica , with whom he became their national double in Montenegro defended. He then returned to Hemofarm Vršac for two years, which in 2011 won another runner-up in Serbia behind serial champion KK Partizan Belgrade .

At the beginning of 2012, Savović moved to the Türkiye Basketbol Ligi for Galatasaray Medical Park from Istanbul , with whom he played the 2011/12 season to the end. In the play-off semi- final series for the Turkish championship, the team was eliminated from local rivals and eventual champions Beşiktaş Milangaz . While the club signed Savović's former teammate Mačvan for the following season, Savović returned to Serbia, where he won the national cup competition with KK Red Star in 2013. In the final of the ABA league as well as in the national championship they lost again to the serial winner and local rival KK Partizan. At the beginning of the 2013/14 season, he first got a contract with Bayern Munich in the German basketball league after Deon Thompson injured himself in the pre-season. With the Munich team he became German champions in the same season.
