AFC Champions League
The 41-year-old, who passed Lee Dong-gook’s mark after joining Kitchee from Daegu FC in 2021, is one of four players to leave the club upon the completion of the season, alongside Alex Akande, Kyrgyz Republic international Bekzhan Sagynbaev and Maddox Kong.
Damjanovic scored 61 goals in 61 games since joining Kitchee in January 2021, including six goals in the AFC Champions League to overtake Lee as the tournament’s leading scorer with 42 goals.
The Montenegrin finished as the Hong Kong Premier League’s leading scorer with 17 goals in the 2020/2021 season despite only playing in the second half of the season.
He was joint top scorer in the season just completed – again with 17 goals – with Kitchee winning the Hong Kong Premier League, Hong Kong FA Cup and the Senior Shield.
Damjanovic was instrumental in Kitchee becoming the first club from Hong Kong to reach the knockout rounds of the AFC Champions League, which they achieved in the 2022 edition. They were eventually eliminated in the Round of 16 by BG Pathum United.
The former FC Seoul, Beijing Guoan and Suwon Samsung Bluewings striker has yet to announce whether he will continue to play or retire following a 24-year career that has seen him represent 14 different clubs.
