The following year, he returned to his country of birth by signing for Croatian side HNK Gorica,[2] but did not play any match.

Italy

Đoković joined Italian club Monza in January 2011.[3] He amassed four goals from 10 Lega Pro Prima Divisione games, during a season which ended in relegation for the Biancorossi.

On 31 August 2011, Đoković was signed by Cesena for 220,000 and the loan of two other players.[4] He made his Serie A debut on 23 October 2011, replacing Erjon Bogdani in the 88th minute of a 0–2 away loss to Siena. He ended the campaign with 15 appearances, and stayed at the club for one more year after its relegation to the Serie B.

On 25 June 2013, Đoković moved to Bologna in a swap deal which took Andrea Ingegneri in the opposite direction, with both players being held in a co-ownership deal.[5][6][7] He signed a three-year contract, but was immediately sent on loan to Romanian team CFR Cluj.[8] In June 2014, the co-ownership deals were renewed, and on 27 August he again left on loan to Serie B side Livorno.[9]

Đoković was released by Bologna on 22 July 2015, without registering his debut in any competition.[10]

Greuther Fürth

Đoković changed countries again on 15 October 2016, after agreeing a deal until the end of the season with 2. Bundesliga team Greuther Fürth.[14]

Spezia

On 28 January 2017, less than four months after joining Greuther Fürth and having made seven appearances in the league, Đoković returned to Italy by signing for Serie B side Spezia.[15]

Rijeka

On 19 June 2017, Đoković agreed to a three-year contract with Croatian defending champions HNK Rijeka.[16] He only featured in three games during his two-and-a-half-month spell, including an appearance in a 5–1 away victory over Welsh club The New Saints in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League on 18 July.[17]

Đoković returned to Romania by signing a contract with FCSB on 27 June 2023.[21] He scored his first goals for the Roș-albaștrii on 3 August, his double helping defeat CSKA 1948 3–2 at home and 4–2 on aggregate in the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.[22]

On 7 January 2023, after falling out with FCSB owner Gigi Becali,[23] Đoković moved to city rivals Rapid București on a one-and-a-half-year deal.[24]
