Stevica "Stevo" Ristić (Macedonian: Стевица Ристиќ, ; born 23 May 1982) is a former professional footballer who played as a striker. Born in Yugoslavia, he represented the Macedonia national team.

Club career

He played for Jedinstvo Vršac in 2001–02 in FR Yugoslavia third level, and then with Mladost Lukićevo in Second League of FR Yugoslavia.[1] Then, he moved, in 2003, to Macedonia to play with FK Sileks from Kratovo. He was the best striker in Makedonska 1. Liga over his first three seasons with them and his great form earned him a 250,000 Euros transfer to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the South Korean K-League. His form in his inaugural K-League season earned him Player of the Year awards and has reportedly been targeted by the 2008 AFC Champion, the Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds, for a rumored sum of 1.725 million Euros. Pohang Steelers agreed a player swap loaned with Shin Kwang-Hoon going in the opposite direction for two and a half years in 2008.

In August 2010, Ristić signed a three-year contract with Russian Premier League side Amkar Perm.[2]
