Football career

Born in Zrenjanin in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Simanić started and ended his 11-year professional career with hometown club FK Proleter Zrenjanin, scoring 16 goals, but also played abroad in Germany and Portugal. In January 1992, he joined VfB Stuttgart, appearing almost exclusively for the reserve team. On 30 September 1992, in his only appearance for the main squad, a UEFA Champions League play-off match against Leeds United, he was introduced in the last minutes of the 1–4 away loss by manager Christoph Daum, causing Stuttgart to play with one foreign player too many; the Germans would have won on the away goals rule but, after being punished with a 0–3 defeat instead, the two teams had to play a third match, which ended 2–1 for the English side. [1]

Simanić then represented S.L. Benfica, being called to the bench twice and Boavista in six Primeira Liga games, after which he competed in the country's second (F.C. Famalicão) and third divisions for A.D. Ovarense. He returned to his country aged 32 and played for Proleter, retiring from football three years later. [2]
