Zoran Njeguš

Red Star Belgrade

Njeguš joined Red Star Belgrade in the summer of 1995. Over the course of three seasons at Red Star, Njeguš played a total of 103 matches. He played in every match of Red Star's 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup campaign up to their elimination against Barcelona in the second round.

Atlético Madrid

On 8 May 1998, Njeguš joined Spanish club Atlético Madrid in a 7.5 million DM transfer from Red Star Belgrade. He was coach Arrigo Sacchi's first pick of that year's summer transfer window. He played for three seasons at Atlético Madrid, playing a total of 52 matches.

Sevilla

On 30 July 2001, Sevilla officially announced the loaning of Njeguš from Atlético Madrid. His loan to Sevilla was renewed for a season on 27 July 2002. After almost three seasons with Sevilla, a bitter dispute occurred from a drastic punishment given to him after he returned late from the 2003-2004 winter break. During court proceedings on settling the contract dispute between Sevilla and himself, a jurist stated that Njeguš was "depressed, eating compulsively, and gained 8 kilograms" as a result of Sevilla sanctioning him. Njeguš subsequently retired.

Although Njeguš was not called up for a major international competition, he made his debut under for the Yugoslavia national team under coach Slobodan Santrač on 28 December 1996 in a 3–2 away win against Argentina. Santrač ultimately preferred Albert Nađ and Branko Brnović as his defensive midfield picks, with the latter being called up to the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Although Njeguš was not called up for that World Cup, he started under coach Milan "Bard" Živadinović in Yugoslavia's first post-World Cup friendly at the Castelão in front of approximately 70,000 people against Brazil on 23 September 1998, which Yugoslavia tied 1–1. His final international was a June 2003 European Championship qualification match away against Azerbaijan.

In March 2016, Njeguš was arrested for allegedly being involved in real estate fraud in the Zlatibor region. He was released from custody 10 days later.
