Playing career

In December 2006, it was announced that Lazetić agreed to join Partizan in January 2007, along with his teammate Antonio Rukavina.[1] The duo later signed four-year deals with Lazetić being assigned the number 10 shirt.[2] He spent one and a half seasons with the Crno-beli, collecting the double in the 2007–08 campaign.

In July 2008, Lazetić signed a two-year contract for Vojvodina.[3] He stayed at Stadion Karađorđe for one year, before going abroad and joining Greek club Rodos. He scored nine goals in the 2009–10 Beta Ethniki, but failed to help the side avoid relegation.

In early 2011, Lazetić moved to Indonesia to play for Persis Solo under his compatriot Branko Babić. He subsequently returned to Serbia, having brief spells with Javor Ivanjica and Bežanija, before retiring from the game in the summer of 2013.

Managerial career

In October 2015, Lazetić became an assistant to newly appointed Teleoptik manager Ivan Tomić, alongside Dražen Bolić.[4] The trio performed the same roles at Partizan between December 2015 and July 2016 when Tomić resigned from his position due to poor results. In October 2016, Lazetić took charge of the Partizan youth team with Bolić serving as an assistant.[5] They won the league title in May 2017.[6] In June 2018, Lazetić joined Miroslav Đukić's staff as an assistant at Partizan, replacing departed Andrija Delibašić. He also served as caretaker manager for the club in March 2019. The following month, Lazetić was appointed manager of Teleoptik.

Personal life

Lazetić is the younger brother of fellow footballer Nikola Lazetić.
