Nebojša Vignjević (Serbian Cyrillic: Небојша Вигњевић; born 15 May 1968) is a Serbian football manager and former player.

Playing career

Vignjević came through the youth system of Partizan, but failed to make any first-team appearances. He started his senior career at lower league club Rakovica, before moving to Yugoslav First League side Rad in the early 1990s. Later on, Vignjević spent some time with the Toronto Lynx of the USL A-League.[1] He also played professionally in Hungary in the early 2000s.[2]

Managerial career

After hanging up his boots, Vignjević started working with the youth teams of Rad. He began his managerial career at BSK Borča in 2004, before returning to Rad. In June 2006, Vignjević took charge of Serbian First League club Radnički Pirot.

Between 2009 and 2011, Vignjević spent two seasons as manager of Montenegrin side Rudar Pljevlja, winning one Montenegrin First League title (2010) and back-to-back Montenegrin Cups (2010 and 2011).

On 23 October 2013, Vignjević was appointed as manager of Hungarian club Újpest.[3] He led the team to two Magyar Kupa trophies (2014 and 2018).[4] On 1 June 2020, Vignjević was dismissed from his position due to poor results.[5]

Personal life

Vignjević is the older brother of fellow former footballer Nikola Vignjević. They played indoor soccer together for National Professional Soccer League team Edmonton Drillers in the 1999–2000 season.[6]
