Saša Ćirić or Saša Ḱiriḱ (Macedonian: Сашa Ќириќ; born 11 January 1968) is a retired Macedonian football player.[1]
Ćirić started his career at Sloga Umin Dol. Via Metalurg Skopje he moved to Pelister. From the Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia (for which he played in 1994) he signed for FK Vardar again and went to FC Aarau. German Bundesliga side 1. FC Nürnberg bought him in 1997 for a fee of one million Swiss francs.
In 1999, Tennis Borussia Berlin signed him for four million Marks. Although Ćirić wanted to stay Nürnberg had to sell him after being relegated for financial reasons. In 2000, he signed at Eintracht Frankfurt.
In 2003, Ćirić joined The Club once again and retired in 2006 at Offenbacher Kickers.
He made his senior debut for Macedonia in an April 1995 friendly match against Bulgaria and has earned a total of 26 caps, scoring 8 goals.[2] His final international was an April 2004 friendly match against Croatia.[3]
After retiring as a player, he became chairman of Macedonian second tier team FK Cementarnica 55.
