Atlanta's first team player and regular national team player, Nikola Krstović, has been elected the best football player in Montenegro for the second time in a row.
Krstović won the most votes (73) in the selection of captains and coaches of the first league clubs. Marko Janković (Qarabag - 29 votes) came in second, and Adam Marušić (Lazio - 26 votes) came in third.
"This is the biggest thing for me. Thank you to FSCG, the coaches and captains who voted for me. Thank you to my former club Lecce, then Atalanta, as well as Dunajska Streda, who presented me in a good light. Everything comes gradually. I am happy, being here in front of you is something special," said Krstović.
The best female football player was chosen as the member of the Turkish Fomgeta, Armisa Kuç, who won this award for the fourth time.
"Thank you FSCG for the recognition and support throughout all these years. Thank you to the coaching staff and my teammates and my family. It is a huge honor to win this recognition. This year was special for me, the most beautiful and successful in my career. At the same time, the most successful in the history of the Montenegrin national football team and I am proud of that. Every time I step onto the field, I feel that I represent something bigger than myself and that inspires me, but also obliges me to give my best in every match," said Kuč.
The most successful coach is Jezera's head coach, Miodrag Džudović. With him on the bench, the team from Plav managed to survive in the MeridianBet First Montenegrin Football League last season, and this season they are playing brilliantly and are in fourth place in the table at half-time, and they also made it to the semi-finals of the Montenegrin Cup.
Also in the running for coach of the year were Zdravo Dragićević (Petrovac) and Vladimir Savićević (Bokelj SBBet).
"I do not see this award as a personal success, but as a success of all the people who have been part of my journey and our joint work. I thank FSCG for the trust and support shown. I thank all the coaches with whom I have collaborated and from whom I have learned a lot. Every piece of advice, conversation and experience has helped me become better in this job. Many thanks to the FSCG Education Center, which raises the level of knowledge and professionalism of all of us coaches. Without quality education, there is no quality work of coaches, but no results. I owe special gratitude to the leadership of the Municipality of Plav, which recognizes the importance of sport, supports the club and young people. I thank the leadership of Jezera, led by president Ervin Tošić, for their trust, understanding and cooperation. We are facing great challenges in the club, but we have the most important thing - good people with big hearts. I thank my associates and players, who give their maximum and who are proof that with work, discipline and faith, results can be achieved even when the conditions are not the best," said Džudović.
The MeridianBet Best Player of the First Montenegrin Football League is Sutjeska's Marko Šimun, who celebrated ahead of Asmir Kajević (Dečić) and Balša Sekulić (Mornar). Šimun also made his debut for the Montenegrin national football team this year.
"I want to thank all the captains and coaches who voted for me. A lot of credit for this goes to all my teams I played for after returning to Montenegro - I'm thinking of Jezero, then Petrovac and Sutjeska. Thanks to all the teammates I played with during that period and the people from the club. The big award for me this year is the call-up to the national team. It's an honor and a privilege, and thanks to the FSCG for the opportunity," said Šimun.
The most promising players were Juventus player Vasilije Adžić (2006), Andrej Kostić from Paritzan (2007) and Budućnost player Lazar Savović (2008).
The best Montenegrin futsal player is Luka Vuletić (KMF Lučenc), while the "Matija Šarkić" award for the best young Montenegrin goalkeeper in 2025 went to Rudar goalkeeper Balša Radanović.
