Source-derived summary

Boris Keča (Serbian Cyrillic: Борис Кеча; born 5 April 1978) is a Bosnian former professional footballer who played as a defender, currently in charge of Liga II club CS Dinamo București.

Club career

Keca was born in Bihać, Yugoslavia. He started playing in Romania with Naţional București, a club at the time popular for foreign players from Eastern-Europe (the likes of his fellow Bosnian Slaviša Mitrović or Albanian Albert Duro) or Australians (Michael Thwaite, Ryan Griffiths or Jonathan McKain). With Naţional he could compete in the 2002–03 UEFA Cup, where they would edge out teams like Tirana and Heerenveen before eventually being eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the Second Round.

He made his debut in Divizia A on 19 November 1999 against Universitatea Craiova.

He then transferred in 2003 to Braşov, from where he was brought to Steaua București in January 2005, by his former Naţional coach Walter Zenga, ahead of their 2004–05 UEFA Cup matches, where they managed to reach the Round of 16 after surpassing Valencia. He was being dropped out of the team after the defeat in the 2005 Romanian Supercup match.

Subsequently, he spent the 2004–2005 season at Pandurii Târgu Jiu, where they succeeded finishing in the last non-relegating spot in a season after which the first league would change from 16 to 18 teams. The following season, he was brought to Argeş Piteşti by another Italian manager Giuseppe Giannini. The club would get relegated at the end of the season finishing 17th, with Giannini being sacked after nine consecutive defeats.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology.

Its strongest next move is a source search built around Boris, Keča and Bosnia.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Boris Keča” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Boris, Keča and Bosnia provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4945284. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978, 2002, 1999 and 2003.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
