Milan Đurić (born 22 May 1990) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian club Cesena and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

Early life

Đurić was born in Tuzla, present day Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the time part of SFR Yugoslavia. His father, Goran, was a former Bosnian third division footballer. His family moved to Pesaro, in Italy in 1991, because of the outbreak of Bosnian war.[2] Although he was born in Tuzla, his family is from Vlasenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at that time part of SFR Yugoslavia.[3]

Club career

Early career

He played for Vis Pesaro's youth system until 2005, when the club declared bankruptcy and he was consequently released for free, being successively signed by San Marino and successively Cesena, where he played for the youth team coached by former Bosnian star Davor Jozić.[2][4]

Cesena

He made his first team debut for A.C. Cesena on 30 October 2007, in a match lost to Mantova[5] and scored his first professional goal a few weeks later in a league match against Frosinone. He was confirmed to Cesena also for the following season, in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione (Italian third tier).

Parma

In June 2010 he was swapped with Alberto Galuppo of Parma directly and no cash. On 30 June 2010, Đurić was loaned to Ascoli. On 28 January 2011, he was loaned out to Crotone. This deal was extended on 15 June 2011 for another year.

He spent the 2012–13 season on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Cremonese.

Cesena return

Later in July 2013 he was loaned to newly promoted Serie B club Trapani, after Cesena bought him back. In January 2014, he was then loaned to Cittadella.

After short loan spell to Cittadella, he spent 2014–15 season playing for Cesena in Serie A, being a first-team regular. His best performance came against Juventus, where he scored one goal, and assisted for the other, in a 2–2 draw.[6]

Cesena were relegated at the end of the season, but Đurić stayed at the club for the season 2015–16 in Serie B.

International career

In July 2010, Đurić expressed his desire to play for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team.[3] Indeed, on 12 February 2012, Milan Đurić got his first call-up for Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 against Serbia under-21 friendly match in Belgrade,[7] but waited for his debut until 1 June 2012 when he was substituted on in 79th minute for Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 (under Vlado Jagodić) and scored 10 minutes later which was his first ever goal for his native country in a comfortable 3–0 home victory in Under-21 European Championship qualifications over Belarus under-21, at Grbavica Stadium in Sarajevo.[8] Five days later he started the match against San Marino under-21, in Sarajevo on 6 June, and scored his second goal for national team and second of the game in 3–1 win, while added one assist for the first goal of the game.[9] In game against Greece under-21, on 7 September in Sarajevo, he scored yet another, his third in a three, and fourth of the game for a comfortable 4–0 win.[10]

On 10 September 2012, against Germany under-21, Đurić scored his first hat-trick for Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21, while also making an assist for Bosnia's fourth goal of the game, which ended tied (4–4). This made impressive tally of six goals, with two assists, in just four played games.[11]

On 27 March 2015, he made his debut for the Bosnia and Herzegovina against the Andorra after being subbed in for Vedad Ibišević in the 67th minute.[12]

On 10 October 2015, he scored his first goal for Bosnia and Herzegovina against Wales heading the ball after an assist by Miralem Pjanić. In 90th minute, he gave an assist to Vedad Ibišević for final result 2–0.[13]

Three days later, he scored his second international goal against Cyprus, what proved to be a winning goal in a 3–2 victory and sent Bosnia and Herzegovina into Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs.[14]
