Mandatory medical examinations, formalities regarding paperwork in the transition period, a couple of trainings with future teammates, and signatures – midfielder Branislav Janković and universal Ivan Novović are the new first team players of our Future.
The 29-year-old from Tivat arrived after the season in Turan, Kazakhstan (22 games), and the 32-year-old from Podgorica arrived after the half-season in Dečić (10 games) – they signed a contract for 18 months.
“As soon as I decided not to continue the cooperation with the club in Kazakhstan, I accepted Buducnost’s offer literally a few minutes later. I did not hesitate. I had an offer on the table and I thank the club for waiting for me for a few days with the answer “, said the guy who played for both the youth and the A national team of Montenegro … The biggest reason why I returned to Montenegro is family. Due to the bad situation in Kazakhstan, I did not want to “harass” my family or myself, and I think that coming to Buducnost is a good move. I am aware of what kind of club I came to, that the pressure is constant and that only trophies are expected. I will do my best to help the club in those goals “, Janković is clear.
Novović was close to the club from his hometown several times. Now the dice have matched.
“Coming to the Future is a great wish for me. Like every boy from Podgorica, who starts playing football, I had the desire to one day wear the jersey of the biggest club in Montenegro. I am overjoyed to be part of an institution like Buducnost. ”
Both Janković and Novović were well received from the start in the blue and white locker room. And during their careers, they cooperated with the head of the professional staff, Aleksandar Nedović, so the process of getting used to them will be easier.
“We feel like I’ve been with guys for a long time. I know all of them from the field, I have shared a locker room with some of them before, they are great guys, top professionals and always open for cooperation. I have only words of praise for all of them “, said Novović, whose words were followed by Janković.
“I also know most of them, I’ve played with many, so there are no problems with adaptation.” Janković and Novović bring experience, quality, but also a winning gene – the midfielder with Grblje knew how to win Europe, so he played with Čukarički several rounds of qualifications, but also with Sutjeska he wrote the best results in the history of that club – he won two titles and played 2 .the qualifying round for the Champions League and the 3rd qualifying round for the Champions League.
On the other hand, our new left-hander played for Zeta, Russian Krasnodar, and OFK Titograd, with which he won the title and two Cups, and played a historic playoff – for the Europa League against Spanish Sevilla.
“I don’t want it to sound like a phrase, but I expect a lot from spring. I followed all the teams in the first part, because I had time since my championship in Kazakhstan ended earlier. The future suffered a lot of bad luck during the fall, the best players had problems with injuries and I think that is the only reason why the points difference is as big as it is. Time will tell, but I am sure that we will play a big role in the spring “, Janković is clear, with whose words Novović agrees.
“Expectations for the club of the reputation of the Future are always the same – the fight for trophies and the winning gene are synonymous with the club. It is up to us to prepare well for the continuation of the season, and when we are ready to enter, we are competitive both in the fight for the title and in the Cup competition. As far as personal expectations are concerned, I have always been a team player, so I will be in the service of the team now and I will do my best to be useful “, the former young member of the Montenegrin national team is clear.
