Mladen Božović (Serbian Cyrillic: Младен Божовић, pronounced [mlâden bôːʒoʋitɕ]; born 1 August 1984) is a Montenegrin former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
[1] Light enough on his feet, and quick enough with his reflexes to dominate between the sticks, Božović started out with his local club Zabjelo, and joined Budućnost Podgorica in the 2004 winter transfer window.
[2] He made his competitive debut for the club in a 2–0 home league win over Bežanija on 22 March 2008, replacing his compatriot Darko Božović in the 87th minute of the game.
[5] He briefly lost his place in the team to Aleksandar Radosavljević between late September and early November 2009,[6] before again becoming Partizan's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper.
Subsequently, Božović played the full 90 minutes in all of his team's UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying games, including a play-offs tie against the Czech Republic.
[11] During the World Cup 2014 qualifying stage, Božović maintained his role as Montenegro's first-choice goalkeeper, appearing in eight games (out of 10), as the team finished in third place behind England and Ukraine.
