Nikola Jolović

Nikola Jolović ( Serbian - Cyrillic Никола Јоловић ; born May 4, 1979 in Belgrade ) is a Serbian football player . He is currently in the service of Inter Baku in Azerbaijan. The former young talent was considered one of the hopes of Yugoslav football on the defensive.

Nikita began his career at FK Zemun in Serbia. From there, he moved to Torpedo Moscow in 2001 for a transfer fee of 250,000 euros , making a giant leap in his career. In the beginning he was still considered a perspective player and should slowly be introduced to the team, but he did not make the final leap to become a regular player. Although he still played in the 2003 UEFA Cup against a top European club like Villarreal, his intermezzo at the Russian top club ended prematurely in 2005 when they loaned him to Saturn Ramenskoye . There he was able to play an excellent second half of the season, which he crowned with two goals, whereupon Saturn pulled the purchase option on him. Due to financial difficulties Ramenskoje was later no longer able to keep his licensed player budget, and had to give up Jolović. Inter Baku signed the now 27-year-old on a free transfer.

Jolović played several times for the Serbian-Montenegrin national team in the U-21 European Championship qualification in 2002.

Nikita knew how to turn the public on herself not only in terms of sport. Time and again, private escapades got him into trouble. His weakness for Moscow nightlife and fast cars earned him several fines and the coach's displeasure.
