STEVAN JOVETIC BIOGRAPHY
A Montenegrin footballer Stevan Jovetic born 2 November 1989 his plays in Serie A club ACF Fiorentina. His impressive dribbling, close control, hair and technical qualities have drawn many critics to compare him to Roberto Baggio.
On 8 April 2006, at the age of 16,he made his senior debut for Partizan under head coach Jürgen Röber during a league match against Voždovac.
He scored three goals during a UEFA Cup qualifying game against Zrinjski on 2 August 2007, in a 5–0 victory for Partizan, making it his first career hat-trick at only 17 years old. During October 2007, he was linked to several high profile clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid. He became Partizan's club captain at age 18 in January 2008, after former captain Antonio Rukavina was sold to German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. This made him Partizan's youngest captain ever, surpassing club legend Albert Nađ who became captain at age 19.
On 10 May 2008, Serie A club Fiorentina signed him for a reported fee of £7.3 million (€8 million). He scored his first goal for La Viola (The Purples) in the league match against Atalanta from the penalty spot on 5 April 2009.
He started the 2009–10 season with a goal against Sporting Clube de Portugal in a 1–1 return leg draw at Stadio Artemio Franchi, which gave Fiorentina their entrance into the Champions League group stages. Other decisive goals included goals against Palermo, Sampdoria and Livorno. On 29 September 2009, he scored both goals in a 2–0 victory over Liverpool in the Champions League group stage. On 9 March 2010, Jovetic scored two goals in Fiorentina's 3–2 win over Bayern Munich, however they lost the tie on away goals, and he scored again against Napoli on 13 March. He scored in a 4–1 win against Udinese on 28 March. During pre-season training for the 2010–11 season, he suffered an injury to his cruciate ligament in his right knee which, eventually, saw him out for the whole season. Jovetic returned to form in the 2011-2012 season, scoring a double in a 3-0 win with Parma, his first goals in over a year. On October 15th, 2011, Jovetic signed a contract that would keep him in Florence through 2016.
Jovetić was a founding member of the Montenegro national team who played their first game against Hungary in March 2007, and is also a regular for the Montenegro U-21 team.
Fiorentina supporters gave Jovetić the nickname "Jo-Jo". Because of his hairstyle, Jovetić is frequently compared by press and Fiorentina supporters to the famous Queen guitarist Brian May, most people think of him as the "next Baggio". His idol is Juventus forward and fellow Montenegrin international Mirko Vucinić, from whom he took the Montenegro U21 captain's armband at the age of 17.
