Career
Astana
He was signed by FC Astana in November 2021. In September 2022, he was sacked from FC Astana due to changes in the management.[1] FC Astana later won the 2022 Kazakhstan Premier League.[2]
Debrecen
On 21 September 2022, he was signed by Nemzeti Bajnokság I club, Debreceni VSC.[3][4][5] On 8 April 2023, he said in an interview with Magyar Nemzet that Debrecen's performance against Mezőkövesd was the best since his arrival.[6] On 8 May 2023, in an interview with Hajdú-Bihar Vármegyei Portál, he said that Debrecen is fighting for the third place in the 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season.[7] On 17 May 2023, it was revealed on Nemzeti Sport that he might leave Debrecen.[8][9]
On 28 May 2023, he signed a 2-year extension with the club.[10] On 27 May 2023, he reached 3rd place with DVSC, that means that the club could get to the second round of the Europa Conference League qualifications.
On 26 August 2024, he was sacked after a 3-0 defeat from Újpest at the Szusza Ferenc Stadion.[11] His team did not start the 2024–25 Nemzeti Bajnokság I as it was expected from the managerial board of Debrecen. Although Debrecen beat Győri ETO FC 3-0 on 2 August 2024,[12] Debrecen drew with Kecskemét[13] and lost to arch-rivals Diósgyőri VTK at the Nagyerdei Stadion on 17 August 2024.[14]
Partizan
On 1 January 2025, Blagojević was appointed as the new coach of Partizan.[15] He led the club through a tough financial period, relying mostly on young, homegrown players. He introduced a fast-paced, attractive brand of football that was welcomed by the fans, especially after a period in which the team struggled offensively. He was shockingly sacked by the board in November 2025 after two straight losses, one to second tier Mačva in the cup and a 4-1 loss to city rivals Čukarički. He was reappointed to the position on 9 May 2026 after a bad period under new managers Nenad Stojaković and Damir Čakar.[16]
Akron Tolyatti
On 8 June 2026, Blagojević signed a four-year contract with Akron Tolyatti of the Russian Premier League.[17]
