Slavko Damjanovic Departs Persebaya, Poised for Move to Bhayangkara FC?
Persebaya Surabaya continues to see key departures as the off-season progresses, with experienced center-back Slavko Damjanovic officially announcing his exit. His farewell follows closely behind that of head coach Paul Munster, marking a period of transition for the club. Damjanovic expressed his gratitude to the fans and shared his emotional farewell after contributing to a strong season that saw Persebaya finish fourth in the Liga 1 standings.
In his debut season in Indonesian football, the Montenegrin defender made 29 appearances and played a vital role in Persebaya’s defensive stability. Despite not securing any trophies, he gained recognition and affection from fans, even earning the club’s Player of the Month award in September and multiple appearances in the Liga 1 Best XI. His presence became an integral part of Persebaya's backline during a competitive campaign.
Off the field, Damjanovic took steps to integrate by learning the Indonesian language, a move that showcased his commitment and may benefit him as he continues his career in the country. His adaptability and professional attitude made him a fan favorite among the passionate Bonek and Bonita supporters.
Speculation is now growing around his next destination, with strong rumors linking him to Bhayangkara FC. The club has just earned promotion to Liga 1 for the upcoming season and is looking to strengthen its squad. Given Damjanovic's proven quality and local experience, a move to Bhayangkara FC could be a logical next step in his Indonesian football journey.
