Club career

After starting out in his homeland, Petković went on to play professionally in Spain (Mallorca), Japan (Yokohama Marinos), Germany (VfL Wolfsburg and 1. FC Nürnberg), and Russia (Spartak Moscow and Saturn Ramenskoye).

International career

Petković represented Yugoslavia at under-18 level before the country dissolved in 1992.[2]

Between 2000 and 2004, Petković was capped seven times for Serbia and Montenegro (previously known as FR Yugoslavia).[3] He was additionally called up to Serbia and Montenegro's 2006 FIFA World Cup squad, as a replacement for the injured Mirko Vučinić,[4] but withdrew from the roster following media criticism of the fact that it was his father who selected him.[5]

Personal life

Petković is the son of fellow footballer Ilija Petković.

In November 2022, Petković and his stepson Damjan Roganović were arrested in Amsterdam, suspected of the criminal offenses of cocaine distribution as a part of an organized criminal group.[6]
