Milan Purović
Montenegrin footballer
Milan Purović (Montenegrin: Милан Пуровић; born 7 May 1985) is a Montenegrin retired footballer who played as a centre forward.
Club career
Born in Titograd, Montenegro, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Purović made his professional debuts with FK Budućnost Podgorica. He then played for Red Star Belgrade from 2005 to 2007, alongside Nikola Žigić, with the strikers standing at respectively 193 and 202 cm.
Purović attracted interest from several clubs outside Serbia, and signed for Sporting CP in the summer of 2007. However, he only managed two Primeira Liga goals in his first season (six all competitions comprised), and would be loaned to Turkish Süper Lig side Kayserispor for 2008–09.
In 2009–10 another loan ensued, as Purović joined Hungary's Videoton FC. It would be however a short-lived one, as in early 2010 he moved to Slovenia with NK Olimpija Ljubljana on yet another loan. He split the following campaign between another two teams, C.F. Os Belenenses in the Portuguese second level and Cercle Brugge K.S.V. in Belgium, both still on loan from Sporting; he appeared in only 11 league matches for the two clubs combined.
On 27 July 2011, Purović terminated his contract with the Lisbon-based club and signed for OFK Beograd. On 9 April 2014, after featuring rarely for both FC Metalurh Zaporizhzhia and FK Bežanija, he joined Malaysia Super League team Perak FA, replacing departed foreign player Želimir Terkeš. He made his debut against Johor Darul Takzim FC, six days later.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Milan Purović” as montenegrin footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as montenegrin footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q741286. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1985, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
