Bojo Jevdjevic


Bojo Jevdjević is an Australian former professional soccer player and coach who played as a goalkeeper. He is best known for his time with the Gippsland Falcons in the National Soccer League, where he made more than 70 appearances across four seasons.
Following the end of his playing career, Jevdjević moved into coaching, working as a goalkeeping coach at senior level in Victorian football.

Playing career

Gippsland Falcons

Jevdjević joined the Gippsland Falcons during the club's participation in the National Soccer League. He established himself as a regular first-choice goalkeeper and made more than 70 league appearances across four seasons.
His consistency and performances during this period were later recognised in 2011, when he was named in the Team of the NSL Era, a retrospective selection honouring standout players from the league's history.
It was at the Falcons that Jevdjević played a crucial role in mentoring and developing future Socceroos goalkeeper, Eugene Galekovic.

Sydney Olympic

In February 2001, not long before the National Soccer League finals, Jevdjević signed with Sydney Olympic. He served primarily as a backup goalkeeper to international goalkeeper Clint Bolton, limiting his opportunities at first-team level. Jevdjević made one league appearance for the club before returning to Victorian football.

Fitzroy City

In 2002, Jevdjević played for Fitzroy City, a Serbian-backed club competing in the Victorian Premier League.
During the season, he notably scored twice from the penalty spot, an uncommon achievement for a goalkeeper. His goals came in a 2–2 draw against Heidelberg United on 24 March 2002 and in a 1–1 draw with Bulleen Zebras on 17 February 2002, both matches played at Ross Reserve.
Despite his experience, Fitzroy City endured a difficult campaign and finished the season with 22 points. The club was relegated on the final day of the season, ending its tenure in the Victorian Premier League after one year.

Altona Magic

Save for a single season with Bulleen Zebras in 2005, Jevdjević spent the rest of his playing career with Altona Magic, representing the club across a decade.
A consistent presence in goal, playing a total of 137 matches, he played an important role in Altona Magic's status as a regular contender for honours in the Victorian Premier League. His longevity and reliability made him a prominent figure at the club throughout the 2000s.
Jevdjevic kept a clean sheet for Altona Magic in the 2008 Victorian Premier League grand final, which the Magic won 1–0 over Melbourne Knights.

Representative career

In addition to his club career, Jevdjević featured for the Victoria state representative side in 2002. On 10 June 2002, he started in goal for Victoria in a senior match against New South Wales at Melita Stadium in Sydney, which finished 1–0 in favour of New South Wales.

Coaching career

After retiring from playing, Jevdjević transitioned into coaching, specialising in goalkeeping at senior level. His first coaching role was at Springvale White Eagles in 2011, where he returned to a club he had previously represented as a player.
In March 2014, Jevdjević joined South Melbourne as the first-team goalkeeping coach. During his tenure, he contributed to the development of goalkeepers competing at the highest level of Victorian football and helped the club secure state-league honours.
In 2018, Jevdjević was appointed as the first-team goalkeeping coach at Oakleigh Cannons and remained in the role for many seasons.
Across his coaching career, Jevdjević has been credited with developing elite-level goalkeepers and has been involved in teams that have won multiple Victorian championships and Dockerty Cup titles. His experience as a former professional and NSL veteran, combined with his coaching expertise, has made him a respected figure in Victorian football circles.
