One of Serbia’s best and most decorated players in the last decade announces his retirement from the National Team.
This obviously means that Nikola Kovacevic will NOT play at the upcoming European Olympic Qualification Tournament next month. His last appearance with the National Team was at the 2015 European Champs where Kova and Team finished 7th.
The 32 year old has posted this on his IG:
Kova’s success with Serbia includes the following:
2010 World Championship Bronze
2008 World League Silver
2009 World League Silver
2010 World League Bronze
2015 World League Silver
2007 European Championship Bronze
2011 European Championship GOLD
2013 European Championship Bronze
2008 and 2012 Olympian
In case you didn’t know, Kova is married and has 2 daughters, Mija and Emma.
This club season, he is playing in Russia with Lokomotiv Novosibirsk.
We are going to miss you Kova BUT we have nothing but love and respect for you and for all the wonderful volleyball memories you’ve shared to us!
Enjoy you life’s new chapter!
EXCLUSIVE! Serbian outside hitter Nikola Kovacevic can't hide all the happiness he feels after winning a bronze medal at the European Volleyball Championship 2013. Dance! Dance! Dance!
