Career

Born in Belgrade, Dimitrijević started out at Partizan and made his first team debut in 1981 against Velež Mostar. He spent four seasons in the senior squad, winning one Yugoslav First League title with the Crno-beli. He totalled 59 goals in 199 matches for the club in all competitions, but never lived up to the expectations due to his love for night-life and alcohol.

He subsequently returned to Yugoslavia and went on to play for Spartak Subotica and Dinamo Zagreb. In his later years, Dimitrijević played for several French clubs.

Personal life
