Srđan Čebinac (Serbian Cyrillic: Срђан Чебинац; born 8 December 1939) is a Yugoslav former footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Born in Belgrade, Čebinac came through the youth system of Partizan, making his competitive debut in the second part of the 1956–57 Yugoslav First League.[1] He was sidelined during the title-winning 1960–61 season due to a dispute with the club's board. Subsequently, Čebinac joined OFK Beograd, spending three seasons with the side. He helped them win the Yugoslav Cup in 1961–62. Following the expiration of his contract, Čebinac took a one-year break from football in order to be able to play abroad.

In 1965, Čebinac went for a trial with 1. FC Köln on the recommendation of Zlatko Čajkovski. He eventually signed for the club, but suffered an ankle injury early on in the season, appearing in just three games in the 1965–66 Bundesliga. In 1966, Čebinac moved to the Netherlands and agreed to a three-year contract with Eredivisie newcomers Sittardia. He recorded 58 appearances and scored 13 goals in the top flight of Dutch football over two seasons. Subsequently, Čebinac was transferred to Austria Wien, winning the 1968–69 league title.

In early 1970, Čebinac made a return to his homeland and spent two calendar years with Rijeka in the Yugoslav Second League.[2] He then moved back to the Netherlands for a brief spell at Fortuna SC in the first half of 1972. Later that year, Čebinac joined Swiss club Aarau, later serving as their player-manager.[3]

International career

At international level, Čebinac was capped once for Yugoslavia on 18 March 1964, playing the full 90 minutes in an away friendly against Bulgaria that ended in a 1–0 win.[4]

Personal life

Čebinac also holds Swiss citizenship. He is the twin brother of fellow footballer Zvezdan Čebinac.[5]
