Ognjen Koroman (Serbian Cyrillic: Огњен Короман, pronounced [ɔ̂gɲɛn kɔrɔ̌man]; born 19 September 1978 in Pale, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian international footballer. He plays for Krylia Sovetov Samara

Career

A talented midfielder who can operate wide on either flank, Koroman began his career at FK Radnički Kragujevac. He moved from OFK Beograd to Russian club Dynamo Moscow in 2002, and subsequently played for fellow Russian clubs FC Krylia Sovetov Samara and FC Terek Grozny, scoring 16 goals in 94 matches there.

In January 2006 Koroman moved on loan to English club Portsmouth,^[1] scoring on the final day of the season against Liverpool.^[2]

He followed that up with a good World Cup for Serbia which included an outstanding performance against Holland. However he was the subject of criticism during the tournament after he was yellow carded for twice waving an imaginary card and urging the referee to book an opponent.

In August 2006 Koroman was re-signed on a season long loan deal to Portsmouth,^[3] however after falling out favour at Portsmouth and seeing little action, he signed for Red Star Belgrade on 6 February 2007,^[4] in a seven month loan deal. In August 2007 he signed a 3-year contract with Red Star Belgrade. He also made a debut as team captain in the Serbian Superliga first round match against FK Čukarički Stankom, replacing Dejan Milovanović who was the team captain for the last 18 months. In June 2009, he left Red Star Belgrade and signed a contract with Incheon United, a club whose coach is Ilija Petković, until 2010. He returned to Red Star for the 2010–11 season.^[5]
