Serbian striker Marjan Jugovic expressed heartfelt gratitude to Bengaluru Football Club after his contract with the team came to an end today.
"Where ever I go, whatever I do, my heart will be BLUE.Thank you for everything @bengalurufc @WestBlockBlues, it was pleasure," Jugovic wrote in his twitter handle.
In February this year, BFC had signed Marjan in an attempt to add some much-needed sting in attack. He was brought in as the fourth foreigner after the release of Honduran Roby Norales, who would play till the end of season.
Confirming the end of contract, a BFC official said, "The contract of Marjan has just ended with us. It was of a very short-term nature."
Out of the six games he played this season, he scored two goals, one in I-league and another in AFC match at the fortress.
Marjan had netted his only goal in I-Laegue as a substitute against Aizwal Football Club.
Unfortunately, the Serbian had to warm the benches as he was declared unfit for the entire Federation Cup, which was clinched by BFC.
Making a comeback in AFC Cup, Marjan scored a goal in home game in the 2-0 win against Abahani Limited.
In the last match against Maziya on May 31, Marjan was named in the substitutes' list, but was not introduced in the entire match, which the Blues won 1-0 to qualify into the knockout stage.
Marjan had played for clubs in Poland, Syria, Iceland and Indonesia and Lebanese club Al-Akhaa Al-Ahli Aley for whom he scored 18 goals in 31 appearances.
