Dennis Salanović (born 26 February 1996) is a Liechtensteiner professional footballer who plays as a winger for Canadian Premier League club York United and the Liechtenstein national team.
In 2018, Salanović joined Swiss club FC Thun.[1]
After playing for AC Oulu in Finland on loan in the 2021 season, on 7 December 2021 he agreed to return to the club on the permanent basis for 2022.[2] [3] On 27 June 2022, Oulu announced that Salanović left the club as his contract expired and the option to extend was not exercised.[4]
On 4 August 2022, he joined fellow Finnish team FC Lahti.[5]
On 9 March 2023, he joined Spanish side CF Talavera.[6]
On 3 January 2024, Salanović joined Canadian Premier League team York United FC on a one-year deal, with an option for 2025.[7] [8]
Salanović played his first international game with the senior national team on 4 September 2014 in and against Bosnia and Herzegovina (3–0), after he came on as a substitute for Philippe Erne in the 63rd minute of that game.[9] At the time of his senior debut for Liechtenstein, rumors were abound that Salanović had chosen to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina over the country of his birth, however, four days later, Salanović appeared in Liechtenstein's starting 11 for their UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Russia, thus permanently cap-tying him to the principality.[10] In 2019, Salanović was voted Liechtenstein Footballer of the Year.[11]
