Njegoš Petrović is a Serbian professional footballer born on 18 July 1999 in Krupanj, then part of FR Yugoslavia.
He plays primarily as a defensive midfielder and currently represents Serbian SuperLiga club Vojvodina as well as the Serbia national team.
Known for his physical presence, ball-winning ability, and composure in midfield, he rose through the ranks of Serbian football before gaining experience abroad and returning to the domestic game.
Siblings
Njegoš’ father, Novak Petrović, is a former centre-back who played for local clubs including Rađevac and Stolice and instilled a love of the game in his sons.
Njegoš is the eldest of three brothers.
His younger brother Petar Petrović, who was around 17 at the time of a 2021 family profile, is a tall attacking player who developed through Rad and later Brodarac, often described as a false nine or technical forward with goal-scoring instincts and ambition to surpass his older brother.
The youngest brother, Vuk Petrovića, began as a goalkeeper with local side Savacijum before converting to a centre-forward role.
