Zoran Pešić (Serbian Cyrillic: Зоран Пешић; born 25 September 1983) is a Serbian former football defender.[1]

Club career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Pešić began his career in 2001 with FK Bane in the Second League of FR Yugoslavia. He later played in the Serbian First League with Javor Ivanjica, Budućnost Valjevo, Radnik Bijeljina, Vlasina, ČSK Čelarevo, and Novi Sad.[2]

Serbian SuperLiga[edit]

In 2009, he played in the Serbian SuperLiga with Spartak Subotica.[3][4][5] In his debut season with Spartak, he appeared in 6 matches.[6] Following his brief stint in the Serbian top tier, he returned to the second division to play with Banat Zrenjanin.[6]

He remained in the second-tier league for the 2011-12 season by securing a contract with Radnički Niš.[7] In his debut season with the club, he helped in securing promotion to the country's major league by winning the league title.[8] Pešić re-signed with Radnički in their run in the first division.[9][10][11] His tenure with Radnički in the top flight was short-lived as he was transferred to Novi Pazar.[12][13][14] After a season in the SuperLiga, he had another run in the country's second division with Radnik Surdulica.[15]

Mongolia[edit]

In 2014, he played abroad in the Mongolian National Premier League with Erchim.[16] Throughout his stint in Mongolia, he played in the 2014 AFC President's Cup against the likes of Manang Marshyangdi and Svay Rieng.[16][6] He also helped Erchim secure the regular season title and clinch a playoff berth.[17] In the playoff stage, the club was defeated in the finals by Khoromkhon.[17]

Following his spell in Eastern Asia, he returned to the Serbian second division to play with OFK Bačka for the 2014-15 campaign.[18] In total, he appeared in 7 matches for the club.[6]

Canada[edit]

In the summer of 2015, he played abroad in the Canadian Soccer League initially with Burlington SC.[19] For the later portion of the season, he was transferred to London City.[20][21] In his debut season in the southern Ontario circuit, he helped London secure the final playoff berth in the first division.[22] London would be eliminated from the postseason tournament in the opening round by the Serbian White Eagles.[22]

In 2017, he signed with league rivals the Serbian White Eagles.[23] Pešić would assist the club in clinching a postseason berth by finishing second in the league's top division.[24] The Serbs would defeat SC Waterloo Region in the preliminary round.[22] Ultimately, the western Toronto side would be eliminated in the semifinal round by the York Region Shooters.[25]

He re-signed with the Serbs for the 2018 season.[26] Once again he assisted the club in securing a playoff berth where he contributed a goal against SC Waterloo.[27] He would return for his third season with the organization in 2019.[28] Throughout the 2019 campaign, the White Eagles qualified for the playoffs but were once more eliminated in the quarterfinal round in a penalty shootout by SC Waterloo.[29] The 2020 season marked his final stint with the western Toronto side.[28] The club would enter the postseason tournament where once again they were defeated in the opening round by FC Vorkuta.[30]
