Nderim Nexhipi

When he was 7 years old he joined his first football club, Sloga Jugomagnat Skopje, where he proved to be very talented. Eventually Nexhipi was noticed by talent scouts at the Macedonia – 21. At the age of 17 and after a training week at Hertha Berlin, he received a professional contract 2001–2003. During the first season under coach Jürgen Röber, he played several matches for the German Cup and he was twice in the selection for the league. Huub Stevens took the helm on then but gave no Nexhipi opportunities, partly because of injuries. At the request of Röber Nexhipi moved in 2003 to VfL Wolfsburg. Rober, however, was dismissed after six months and replaced by Eric Gerets, but he did not Nexhipi aside. However, the midfielder went back to Macedonia in 2004. After a disagreement and misunderstanding between managers Nexhipi went to work at FK Vardar Skopje . There he was quickly taken away by coach Gjore Jovanovski of FK Rabotnički Kometal Skopje who absolutely wanted to. He has worked with the youth team player at his Sloga Jugomagnat. His stay at Rabotnički Kometal was a success. The club won with him the championship three times in four years. In 2008 they also won the national cup, winning in the final 2–0, both goals from Nexhipi. The interest from Western Europe grew back, particularly in Belgium.

He made his official debut with Macedonia on 14 December 2012, playing 75 minutes in a 4–1 away lose in a friendly match against Poland. That has his only cap for Macedonia, and, being an ethnic Albanian, he has awaken the interest of the Albanian Football Association to be part of Albania. Nexhipi has expressed his interest and has declared that he would make himself available should he receive a call-up.

He is the son of former Macedonian footballer Mensur Nexhipi.
