Zivkovic<\/strong> was born in <strong>Nis, Serbia<\/strong>, on <strong>July 11, 1996<\/strong>. He joined the academies of his local side <strong>Nacional<\/strong> and with his performances he managed to impress the scouts from the country&#8217;s major clubs. <strong>Partizan<\/strong> signed him in 2009, initially for their development squad.<\/p>\n<p>He made his debut with the first team on <strong>April 28, 2013<\/strong> against <strong>Novi Pazar<\/strong>. In August of the same year he signed his first professional contract, while two days later he found the net for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>He immediately found a role in the team, became a key player and went so far as to wear the captain&#8217;s armband and become the youngest captain in the history of the club.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the young player was a major cog in <strong>Serbia&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>Under-20<\/strong> team that won the <strong>2015 World Cup<\/strong>, while earlier he had managed to become the youngest player to play for the country&#8217;s senior men&#8217;s national team when <strong>Sinisa Mihajlovic<\/strong> gave him the opportunity in a friendly game against <strong>Japan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>Partizan,<\/strong> up until <strong>February 2016<\/strong> he made 93 appearances, scoring 24 goals, and contributing 13 assists, while also winning <strong>two league championships<\/strong> and a <strong>Serbian Cup<\/strong> in the process.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>July 2016<\/strong>, <strong>Benfica<\/strong> came calling and acquired his services. He stayed in <strong>Portugal<\/strong> for four years, playing 88 times while scoring four goals and producing 24 assists. He won two <strong>league titles<\/strong> and a <strong>Portuguese Cup<\/strong> at the same time. During this time there he also became a key member of the <strong>Serbia<\/strong> national team and played in the <strong>2018 World Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> moved quickly and methodically to make <strong>A. Zivkovic<\/strong> a resident of <strong>Thessaloniki<\/strong> in the summer of <strong>2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In his first season with <strong>PAOK <\/strong>he was a joy to watch, as well as productive. He played in 48 games, scored 14 goals and dished out eight assists, being one of the team&#8217;s MVPs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our attacking midfielder Andrija Zivkovic turns 25 today, and PAOK FC would like to wish him many years of health, happiness and successes on both a personal and professional level.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":634174,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[2378,2457,2534,3766],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Happy Birthday Andrija!
