Savić made his Bulgarian A PFG debut on 10 August 2002, replacing Stefan Donchev in a 3–1 away loss against CSKA Sofia. Seven days later, he made his first start for Spartak, in a 1–0 loss against Lokomotiv Plovdiv at Spartak Stadium.
On 24 February 2004, Savić scored an own goal in a 2–1 home loss against Cherno More in the derby of Varna.

On 3 September 2004, Savić joined Lokomotiv Sofia on a free transfer. He made his first league appearance for Lokomotiv in the 4-0 defeat by Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 11 September.
On 18 April 2009, he scored his first goal in Bulgaria in a 3–2 win over Cherno More, opening the scoring with a trademark strike from 25 yards out. On 31 May Savić was sent off in a match against his previous side Spartak Varna for a foul on Angel Stoykov.
On 11 April 2011, Savić became the second foreign player after Nebojša Jelenković, who made 200 appearances in the Bulgarian A PFG.
