My Take
Dragutinović is the kind of player I have a soft spot for: the unglamorous central defender who wins everything but rarely makes the highlight reel. Grinding through almost a decade in Belgium before becoming a quiet pillar of those trophy-laden Sevilla sides of the 2000s tells you he was a footballer's footballer. His versatility, able to drop into left-back when needed, speaks to a tactical intelligence that managers cherish and fans underrate. Six major titles do not happen by accident, and defenders like him are why. I admire careers built on reliability rather than flash, and his is exactly that.
Overview
Ivica Dragutinović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ивица Драгутиновић, pronounced [îʋitsa draɡutǐːnoʋitɕ]; born 13 November 1975) is a Serbian former professional footballer. Mainly a central defender, he could also operate as a defensive left back. After nearly one decade in Belgium, mainly with Standard Liége, he went on to form part of the Sevilla squads that won six major titles in the 2000s.
