Nerćes Novo (25 September 1928 – 11 October 1983) was a former Yugoslav and Bosnian footballer that played as an attacking midfielder and occasional forward. Born in Skopje, he moved to Sarajevo as a child and went on to compete for both Sarajevo and Željezničar.
Football career
Novo started his career shortly after the end of World War II with the newly formed club Sloboda Sarajevo. On 24 October 1946, the club merged with Udarnik, another local club formed by the newly established communist authorities. The merger resulted in the creation of FK Sarajevo, for whom Novo competed for one season before moving to city rivals Željezničar. After four years at the Grbavica stadium, he transferred back to Sarajevo and established himself as a first-team regular, playing in the Yugoslav First League. Novo represented the maroon-whites for nine seasons, before going on to compete for Igman Ilidža for one year before retiring from football.
Life after football
Novo graduated from the Faculty of Law, University of Sarajevo in 1961 and had a lustrous career as an attorney.
Death
Nerćes Novo died prematurely on 11 October 1983. He is buried at the Bare Cemetery in Sarajevo.
