Personal life

[edit]

Đedović spent most of the first seven years of his life in Munich, Germany, due to the Bosnian War. Returning to Sarajevo in 1997, there was no infrastructure for him to continue playing football, but a basketball club opened in the city.[8] He is the older brother of Nedim Đedović. He has also held German citizenship since April 2015.[9]

Đedović has gained international attention for his physical resemblance to Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović, whose father was Bosnian.[10][11][12]
