Radovan Pankov

Vojvodina

As a youth player, Pankov developed under the supervision of Vojvodina youth coach Milan Kosanović. He was a member of one of the most talented generations in Vojvodina's youth ranks, as his teammates at the time included Sergej Milinković-Savić, Mijat Gaćinović, Srđan Babić, Nebojša Kosović, Emil Rockov, and Milan Spremo. He emphasized that Spremo was "by far the greatest talent of that generation". Pankov made his professional debut for Vojvodina on 10 May 2014 in 1-0 home loss to Jagodina. In the summer of 2015, Pankov participated in Vojvodina's 2015–16 UEFA Europa League qualifying campaign. On 30 July 2015, he played in a historic 0-4 away win against Sampdoria in the first leg of the third qualifying round for the Europa League. In an interview with Mozzart Sport in August 2019, Pankov claimed that the best striker he ever played against was Luis Muriel from the 2015 Europa League duel with Sampdoria. The first leg win against Sampdoria ultimately helped Vojvodina make the play-off against Viktoria Plzeň, after which Vojvodina was eliminated.
