PETALING JAYA: Footballer Argzim Redzovic (pic) brought an emotional chapter of his career to a close after nearly six years of loyalty, leadership, and lasting memories with Terengganu.
The Montenegrin defender, who joined the Turtles in 2018, took to social media to express heartfelt gratitude to the club, his teammates and fans as he announced his departure, marking the end of his longest stint with any team.
“This is the most difficult part, saying goodbye to the team where I’ve spent the longest stretch of my career,” said the 32-year-old Redzovic.
“Nothing lasts forever, but I want to thank Terengganu for almost six incredible years. I was proud to wear the jersey and honoured to lead as captain of one of the biggest clubs in Malaysia.”
Throughout his time with Terengganu, Redzovic became a rock in defence and a respected figure in the dressing room.
His leadership, consistency, and passion on the pitch made him a fan favourite and a symbol of stability during a period of growth for the club.
“To our amazing fans, thank you for being there through the good times and the difficult ones. My family and I always felt Terengganu was home. It always will be,” he added.
His departure comes at a time of transition for Terengganu, who finished fifth in the Super League this season.
Despite falling short of the top-tier finish the team had hoped for, the management have chosen to retain Badrul Afzan Razali as coach. The 41-year-old tactician, who took over midway through the season, will now be entrusted with a stronger role heading into 2025, including a say in the upcoming transfer window, as the club look to rebuild and challenge for honours next season.
With Redzovic moving on and Badrul’s long-term vision now in focus, Terengganu face a new era, one that will aim to blend fresh faces with the fighting spirit that players like Redzovic embodied so well.
