Playing Career: Ognjen Koroman's Club Journey
Ognjen Koroman started his football journey in the youth teams of Željezničar and Red Star Belgrade. These are special training programs for young players.
Early Clubs in Yugoslavia
He then played for several clubs in the First League of FR Yugoslavia. These included Radnički Kragujevac, Spartak Subotica, and OFK Beograd. He spent about a year and a half with each team. In 2002, he moved to play football in another country.
Playing in Russia
Koroman played for clubs in the Russian Premier League, which is Russia's top football league. He played for Dynamo Moscow, Krylia Sovetov Samara, and Terek Grozny. During his time there, he played in 94 games and scored 16 goals. He was even named one of the league's best 33 players in 2002.
Time in England with Portsmouth
In January 2006, Koroman joined the English club Portsmouth. He joined them on a "loan," which means he played for them for a short time while still belonging to his original club. He played three games and scored one goal for Portsmouth. He scored in a game against Liverpool. He returned to Portsmouth for another loan period later that year.
Return to Red Star Belgrade
In February 2007, Koroman came back to Serbia and joined Red Star Belgrade. He helped his team win "the double" in the 2006–07 season. Winning "the double" means a team wins two major competitions in the same season, usually the league title and a main cup. He later signed a permanent contract with the club.

In 2009, Koroman moved to Asia to play for Incheon United in South Korea. He played there for a year before returning to Red Star Belgrade in 2010.
