Dane Kuprešanin (born 12 June 1966 in Sarajevo, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) is a retired Bosnian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

Football career

Kuprešanin started playing professionally with hometown club FK Sarajevo, making his Yugoslav First League debuts in 1985 at the age of 19, and remaining six seasons with the club, for which he netted 17 top division goals in his last two years combined.

In the summer of 1991, Kuprešanin moved to Portugal and signed for F.C. Famalicão, alongside Sarajevo teammate Bernard Barnjak, as the northern team was coached by compatriot Josip Skoblar. In his only season, he ranked second in goals scored in the team, as it managed to maintain its top division status.

Subsequently, Kuprešanin moved to another club in the country, perennial UEFA Cup qualification candidates Vitória de Guimarães. In his first year, he only appeared in 18 league games, but proved instrumental in the season's UEFA Cup, scoring twice in a 3–0 first-round home win against Real Sociedad (3–2 aggregate win). He played a further three seasons with the Minho outfit, suffering a serious knee injury in 1996 which forced him to retire from the game at only 30.^[1]
