Playing career

After starting out at Borac Bivolje, Dodić joined Napredak Kruševac in 1990.[1] He spent seven seasons with the club, before moving to Železnik in 1996. Two years later, Dodić returned to Napredak Kruševac. In September 2001, Dodić moved abroad and signed with Maltese side Pietà Hotspurs.[2] He was released the next month, having played just one match for the club.[3]

In December 2014, Dodić was appointed manager of the Serbia national under-21 team, succeeding Radovan Ćurčić, who took over the country's senior team the month prior.[4]
