Saša Zdjelar (Serbian Cyrillic: Саша Здјелар; born 20 March 1995) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays for Greek club Olympiacos, as a midfielder.

Club career

Zdjelar made his senior debut for OFK Beograd in a 3–0 home league win over Novi Pazar on 3 December 2011, aged 16.[1] He was later sold to Greek champions Olympiacos in 2013, but remained at his parent club for the next two years. In total, Zdjelar recorded 67 competitive appearances with the Romantičari.

In the summer of 2015, Zdjelar eventually moved to Greece and joined Olympiacos. He made his debut for the club on 28 October 2015, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 Greek Cup draw versus Platanias. On 13 January 2016, Zdjelar scored his first ever senior goal for Olympiacos in a 6–0 Greek Cup win over Chania.[2]

Zdjelar represented Serbia at the 2014 UEFA Under-19 Championship, as the team was eliminated in the semi-final by Portugal after penalties.[3] He was also a member of the team that won the gold medal at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[4]

On 31 May 2016, Zdjelar made his full international debut for Serbia, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 friendly win over Israel. He subsequently appeared as an injury-time substitute in a 1–1 friendly draw with Russia at Stade Louis II five days later.
