Club career

Radonjić started football at the age of 17, where he played with Lovćen and then transferred to Budućnost Titograd in 1976, where in the 1980–81 season he emerged as the second scorer in the Yugoslav league, with 15 goals. In his time at Budućnost Titograd, he became the club's all-time top scorer in the Yugoslav First League. He also briefly played overseas for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the North American Soccer League.^[1]

In December 1981, he transferred to AEK Athens following Dušan Bajević's suggestion and afterwards was tested by the team's coach, Hans Tilkowski. It was about a tall striker, strong and good in the high game, but in the year and a half of his presence in AEK, he did not have a high performance. On 21 February 1981, his goal against Panathinaikos at home gave AEK the victory.^[2] He scored in two consecutive league matches against Olympiacos and gave his club the point of the tie.^[3][4] On 25 April 1982, in AEK's away match against Panserraikos, he was sent off alongside Petros Karavitis for insulting the referee.^[5] As a result, Karavitis was punished with a 19-match ban, but Radonjić served the one-match punishment as was predicted.^[6] In the summer of 1983 he was released from AEK even though his contract had a duration of one more year and he returned to Yugoslavia to play for Sutjeska Nikšić before he retired in 1985.^[7]

Managerial career

Radonjić followed a coaching career coaching Budućnost Titograd many times. In the summer of 1999 he returned to Greece to manage Panachaiki, but due to the negative results and the low position in the standings he was fired in the middle of the year. From December 2014 to December 2018, Radonjić served as manager of the Montenegro national under-21 team.^[8][9] He also managed various clubs in Yugoslavia,^[10] Montenegro,^[11] Greece,^[12] and Albania.
