Throughout his playing career, Milović made over 400 appearances for Javor Ivanjica across all competitions.

Club career

Milović started out at his hometown club Javor Ivanjica at the age of 7.[1] He was promoted to the senior squad in 1999. During the next four seasons, Milović established himself as a first-team regular, helping them earn their first-ever promotion to the top flight in 2002. He was transferred to Partizan in June 2003,[2] spending half of his four-year contract on loan at other clubs, including spells with Obilić and Bežanija.

In the summer of 2007, Milović moved back to his former club Javor Ivanjica. He was later loaned to OFK Beograd in January 2008,[3] but appeared in just five league matches with the Romantičari, before returning to his parent club. In June 2010, Milović signed a two-year contract with Vojvodina. He then went abroad on loan to Albanian club Dinamo Tirana in January 2011.[4] Subsequently, Milović played for Javor Ivanjica in the first half of the 2011–12 season, before rejoining Vojvodina.

In the summer of 2012, Milović made another return to Javor Ivanjica. He captained the side to the 2015–16 Serbian Cup final, which ended in a 2–0 loss to Partizan.[5]

International career

Milović made one appearance for Serbia, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 away friendly win over Japan on 7 April 2010.[6][7]

Managerial career

In May 2018, after previously serving as an assistant to Vlado Jagodić, Milović was appointed caretaker manager of Javor Ivanjica until the end of the season.[8]

In May 2023, Milović was named caretaker manager of Javor Ivanjica for the second time in his career, replacing Mladen Dodić with one game left in the season,[9] and saved the club from relegation.
