After the immediate relegation, he moved to the Belarusian champions Brest GK Meschkow in the summer of 2014 . In 2015 Božović signed a two-year contract with the Macedonian association RK Metalurg Skopje . In 2016 the back player moved to Sporting Lisbon . With Sporting he won the EHF Challenge Cup in 2017 and the Portuguese championship in 2017 and 2018. In summer 2018 he returned to TV Emsdetten.
