Uroš Ćosić (Serbian Cyrillic: Урош Ћосић; born 24 October 1992) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Glyfada.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Uroš Ćosić was born on 24 October 1992 in Belgrade and he made his first steps in football at the youth academies of Red Star Belgrade. At the age of 17, he transferred to CSKA Moscow and then he moved back to Red Star on loan. In 2013, he moved to Pescara. During his spell at the Italian club, he also had a loan transfer to Frosinone. In the 2016–17 season, Ćosic was playing for Italian Serie A club Empoli.

AEK Athens

[edit]

On 2 July 2017, AEK Athens and Empoli have reached an agreement for the transfer move of the Serbian central defender to the Super League Greece club. The 25-year-old player made 14 performances during 2016–17 season at Serie A with the struggling Italian team, was expected in Athens in order to complete the final details of deal and sign his four-season contract with AEK.[2] On 3 July 2017, after successfully passing his medicals he put pen to paper to a three (plus one) years' contract.[3] AEK Athens paid €500,000 to acquire Ćosić from Empoli, which has a resale rate of 25%.

On 2 August 2017, Ćosić made his official debut in a 1–0 away defeat against CSKA Moscow for the second leg of the Champions League third qualifying round.[4] On 24 September 2017, he was sent-off, after an altercation with Bjorn Engels in a dramatic 3–2 home win against Olympiacos.[5] Five days later, both players were suspended with a two-match ban.[6] In mid-November, Ćosić faced an ankle problem that kept him out of action for 2–3 weeks. At the end of February 2018, Ćosić had to undergo surgery on his stomach muscles and initial estimations showed that he would miss the rest of 2017–18 season.[7]

Universitatea Craiova

[edit]

On 2 September 2019, Ćosić signed a contract with Liga I side Universitatea Craiova for three years, with an option for another year.

International career
